Interface speed

Hello,

I was setting up an NMS and noticed that my interface speed on the node was different than what the NMS was presenting.  Read the 3rd line for the Ethernet, all interfaces are like this.  This is also true for the LO interface.  In the NMS its reading as a 10G SFP.  Why didn't the node go to 10G with everything 10G plugged into it?  Thanks,

BTW, its using DAC's, thanks for the help

The kernel is reporting 10G on the nics, i do not see where the problem is.

Just to provide some extra context, the txqueue 1000 in  "ether 00:12:c0:02:d6:33 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)" refers to the Transaction Queue Length, or number of packets queued by the interface when large amounts of data are being dumped onto the network.

As per the ethtool output, bond0 and bond1 have 20000Mb/s in each direction. That's 20 Gigabits, or 2*10 Gigabit. If you look at the underlying interfaces with ethtool, you should see that their operating speed as 10000Mb/s as well.

Just for fun, you should also be able to see the underlying transceiver stats for your DAC modules with: ethtool --module-info eth0
