General NESiGate issues

Problem: "savedef" script for saving configuration data to a floppy disk has been updated (Jan 14, 2005)
Solution: download from savedef and replace the version in directory /home/nesi

after the statement
# for port 123

# ACCEPT SNMP
-A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 161 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT
-A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 161 -p udp    -j ACCEPT

Problem: Some sites must change network speed negotiation options for older routers
Solution Modify file /etc/modules.conf with the following options to force full duplex operation at a specified speed. Example if you have a Intel 100 (fast) Ethernet interface and want to force full-duplex at 100 Mbps, the line in modules.conf should look like this:

    options e100 e100_4.

If more than one interface, the first digit is for eth0, the next would be for eth1. So, if two interfaces, both to run at 100 Mbps full duplex, the line would read:

samples for other drivers):
# options e1000 duplex=0/1/2 speed=0/10/100/1000
# Duplex (0=auto-negotiate, 1=half, 2=full)
# Speed  (0, 10, 100, 1000)

# options e100  e100_speed_duplex=1/2/3/4
# (1=10half; 2=10full; 3=100half; 4=100full)

# options bcm5700 auto_speed=0/1 line_speed=0/10/100/1000
# full_duplex=0/1

# options pcnet32 options=0/9/10/13/14
# (0=autonegotiate, 9=10half, 10=10full, 13=100half, 14=100full)

To make these changes:
*   Stop traffic through the NESiGate
*   Log into the NESiGate from the console, NOT telnet!
*   Issue the command "service network stop"
*   Issue the command "rmmod (modulename)" - where (modulename) is e100, e1000, bcm5700, or pcnet32
*   Edit the file /etc/modules.conf
*   Add line(s) after the line that reads "alias eth0 pcnet32"
*   Save modules.conf with a :wq command
*   Issue the command "service network start"
