命令參數說明
-a 查看網卡中接收模塊RX、發送模塊TX和Autonegotiate模塊的狀態：啟動on 或 停用off。
-A 修改網卡中 接收模塊RX、發送模塊TX和Autonegotiate模塊的狀態：啟動on 或 停用off。
-c display the Coalesce(聚合、聯合) information of the specified ethernet card.聚合網口信息，使看起來更有規律。
-C Change the Coalesce setting of the specified ethernet card.修改網卡聚合信息。

5. 設置PHY的動作方式，速度/半雙工/自動協商
ethtool -s ethX [speed 10|100|1000] [duplex half|full] [autoneg on|off] ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full
將 ethtool 設置永久保存在網絡設備：
1. ethtool 設置可通過 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethx 文件保存，從而在設備下次啟動時激活選項
ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off
此指令將eth1設備設置為全雙工自適應，速度為100Mbs。若要eth0啟動時設置這些參數, 修改文件/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 ，添加如下一行
ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"
2. 將ethtool設置寫入/etc/rc.d/rc.local之中，開機自動執行命令設置
ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off
