How can I force the NIC to full duplex?

ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off

Note that the switch you're connected to will also have to be forced to full
duplex -- if one side is set to autonegotiate, the fallback is half duplex.

and change the mtu

ifconfig

where the file should I set it in boot time?

depends...

have you tried to force 10G full duplex?

Wait, hold on. What hardware do you have and what are you trying to do?
