SOLVED Network bridge is not running the same speed as the NIC

[jwong858]

Hi,

My NIC is running at 2.5Gb/s and I'm using a bridge, but my bridge is only running at 1Gb/s.

root@truenas[~]# ethtool enp7s0

I tried to force it to 2.5Gb/s, but it is not working.

root@truenas[~]# ethtool -s br0 autoneg on speed 5000 duplex full
netlink error: Operation not supported

Please help?

Thanks,

James

Never mind. I applied the network settings and now speed of br0 is the same as the NIC.
