NAME¶
ethstatus - Console-based ethernet statistics monitor
SYNOPSIS¶
ethstatus [ -h ] [ -i interface ] [ -v videomode ] [ -S bps[k|m|g] ] [ -s
speed ] (backward compatibility)
DESCRIPTION¶
ethstatus is a console-based monitoring utility for displaying
statistical data of the ethernet interface on a quantity basis.
OPTIONS¶
The following options can be provided:
- -i
- Specify the ethernet interface which shall be monitored. Default is
'eth0'.
- -v
- Set the video mode used by curses. Possible choices are 'vga' (the
default) and 'mono' (useful for black-and-white monitors).
- -S
- Set the maximum network speed in bits per second. ethstatus knows about
the kilo (k), mega (m) and giga (g) modifiers. So you can specify the
speed as e.g. 64k or 100m or 1g.
- -s
- Set the maximum network speed. Possible values are '10' (=10 Mbps),
´100' (=100 Mbps), '64' (=64 kbps), '128' (=128 kbps), 256 (=256
kbps), ´768' (=768 kbps) or '1540' (=1540 kbps). This option is
provided for backward compatibility to prior versions of ethstatus. Please
use the -S parameter instead.
