where do i see in the maintenance web page on an s8300 or anywhere that shows what speed it's set at?? ex. auto/auto 100full duplex??

Did you look at "Configure Server?"

If you just want to see what speed your interfaces are running at, telnet and then issue the command "ifconfig" at the Linux command prompt.

My sites are set at autosense and are showing connections at 100 full. is it avaya best practice to have this set at autosense by default or should I have it changed to 100Full ?

I just installed two S8300 servers in a lab at Avaya-U in Denver (I'm in training this week). There is no option in the server configuration webpages to change the connect speed of the S8300, nor is there a need to do so. The S8300 rides directly on the backplane of the media gateway so it's speed/duplex really makes no difference to the gateway stack. However, the ports on the gateway itself -ARE- configurable ... i.e "set port speed/duplex/negotiation" and this is where you will lock the speed/duplex of the media gateway stack back to your corporate network.

Same, same for your VoIP and MGP resources. The bottle-neck is the link from eth1 (for example) back to the LAN and not within the gateway stack itself.

Al,
Thank you. Yea that's the reason why we want to change it so we can nail the speed between the LAN and the Avaya equipment to 100 full.

would you happen to know if Avaya standards are to have it at autosense becasue most of my remote sites are set to autosense but 1 just happens to be at 100 so I'm trying to be consistent and eliminate any of this being issues with any functionality.

I think you might have missed the point. The speed of the S8300 is a phantom speed. It really has no speed as it has no ethernet port (per se) but, rather, rides on the backplane of the Gxxx gateway stack. It is the speed of the Gxxx gateway ethernet port that you connect back to your corporate LAN that you need to lock.
