Hi there,
Yesterday I reseated the network cable between my server cupboard and my
desk, and it now lights up on the switch by my desk as gigabit. But a
file-transfer today is slower than I might have hoped.
I'm not ruling out the cable, because it's pretty beat up (but the
switch *is* lighting up as 1000), but how do I determine, please, that
the Linux server at the other end is recognising the NIC and negotiating
as gigabit speeds?
Doing a
dmesg | grep "Link is up"
should show something like:
eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex, flow control rx
