I put in a new 4801 RELENG_8 image at a remote site that requires the NIC set to 10baseT full duplex, manually set. However, when I do that, I am not sure what to make of the output.


0[to]# ifconfig sis0 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
0[to]# ifconfig sis0
sis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=80008<VLAN_MTU,LINKSTATE>
        ether 00:00:24:d8:aa:e0
        inet 192.168.123.210 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 192.168.123.215
        media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> (10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>)
        status: active
0[to]#

What does the half-duplex portion mean ?

I am seeing errors as well in netstat
