Hi Bob,
No problem! I’m glad to hear that worked. We’re reviewing this and may change to default off instead of default on. But in the interim the script would be the best way to make it persistent.
I’ve prepared some instructions below, but if you’d prefer I could also just implement this on your behalf, I would just need to be invited to the site to do so. If that’s preferred, please just let me know. Otherwise see below.
Basically we need to create a file in a specific location, add the above command, and set the appropriate permissions. There are numerous ways to achieve this, and here’s one example:
- Connect to Route10 via SSH or use web terminal.
touch /cfg/post-cfg.shchmod 755 /cfg/post-cfg.sh- You have the option of
nanoorvimif you have a preferred text editor. For simplicity I’m going to focus onnano.nano /cfg/post-cfg.sh - Paste the previous command:
ethtool --set-eee eth3 eee off - Press
Ctrl + x, to save and close - Press
Yto confirm - Lastly, press
enterto confirm the file name.
vim is pretty straight forward too, after you open the file vim /cfg/post-cfg.sh, press i for input mode, then after the command is inputted you can press escape, :wq, enter (that specific key sequence) to exit and save the file. As it’s one line you could technically use echo, or other commands as well. Like I said, there are options.
Cheers,
Mike
