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.
