# ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000
2. Verify that the MTU has been changed.
# ifconfig eth0
Figure 6-26 shows the new MTU value

Identifying the QLogic 8100 Adapter Network ID
To identify the adapter network ID:
1. Identify the QLogic 8100 Series Adapter NIC function as a PCI device.
Figure 6-27 shows 85:00.0 and 85:00.1 to be the PCI bus device IDs for the
NIC function ports of a dual-port adapter. For example:
# lspci | grep "QLogic Corp"
Figure 6-27. Identify NIC Function
2. Verify that QLogic NIC driver qlge is managing the PCI bus device ID as
85:00.0 and 85:00.1. For example:
# ls -l /sys/bus/pci/drivers/qlge
