ETHSTATUS(1)

NAME

ethstatus - Console-based ethernet statistics monitor

ethstatus  [ -h ] [ -i interface ] [ -v videomode ] [ -S bps[k|m|g] ] [
-s speed ] (backward compatibility)

ethstatus is a console-based monitoring utility for displaying statistical data of the ethernet interface on a quantity basis.

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.
