The individual Network Interface and Team Interface window displays the following information.
Physical Information
Description | Displays the name of the network controller. |
---|---|
Vendor | Displays the name of the vendor. |
Slot Name | Name of the slot where the controller is located. |
Current MAC Address | Displays the Media Access Control (MAC) address. On a Local Area Network (LAN) or other network, the MAC address is your system's unique hardware number. |
Duplex | Displays the duplex mode of communication system. A duplex communication system is a system composed of two connected parties or devices which can communicate with one another in both directions. A half-duplex system provides for communication in both directions, but only one direction at a time (not simultaneously). A full-duplex, or sometimes double-duplex system allows communication in both directions, and unlike half-duplex, allows this to happen simultaneously. |
Base I/O Address | Displays the initial address for a unique area of memory allocated for input/output data control to a specific hardware adapter. The value is displayed in hexadecimals. |
Base Memory Address | Displays the initial address for a unique area of memory allocated for input/output data control to a specific hardware adapter. The value is displayed in hexadecimal |
IRQ | Displays the Interrupt Request Line (IRQ) number used by the network interface. |
DMA | Displays the Direct Memory Access Channel, if applicable. |
Link Status | Displays the link status (Up/Down/Unknown) of the network controller. |
Connection Status | Displays the connection status of the network controller. |
TOE Capable | Indicates whether TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) support is available. |
TOE Enabled | Indicates whether TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) support is enabled. |
FCoE Capable | Indicates whether Fibre Channel over Ethernet is available. |
iSoE Capable | Indicates whether iSCSI over Ethernet support is available. |
Driver Name | Displays the network interface driver name. |
Driver Image Path | Displays the path where drivers for the network interfaces are stored. |
Driver Version | Displays the version number of the driver for the network interface. |
Firmware Version | Displays the version of the firmware on your system. |
Team Information
Description | Displays the name of the team interface. |
---|---|
Vendor | Displays the name of the vendor. |
Slot Name | Displays the slot name for the virtual/teamed interfaces as Virtual. |
Current MAC Address | Displays the Media Access Control (MAC) address for the team interface. |
Link Status | Displays the link status (Up/Down) of the team interface. |
Connection Status | Displays the connection status of the team interface. |
Driver Name | Displays the team interface driver name. |
Driver Image Path | Displays the path where drivers for the team interfaces are stored. |
Driver Version | Displays the version number of the driver for the team interface. |
Team Name | Displays the name of the team interface. |
Team Type | Displays the type of team. The different types of teaming are:
|
Interface Members | Displays the name of the network interface cards that are teamed. |
Interface
Description | Displays the name of the network interface. |
---|---|
Type | Displays the type of network interface (for example - Ethernet). |
Operational Status | Displays the operational status of the network interface. |
Administrative Status | Displays the administrative status of the network interface. |
Maximum Transmission Unit | Displays the Maximum Transmission Unit. This refers to the size (in bytes) of the largest packet or frame. |
Speed | Displays the speed of the network interface. |
DHCP Server | Displays the IP address of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. |
Default Gateway | Displays the default gateway address. The default gateway provides the address of the router for your network. |
IPv4 Addresses
IP Address | Displays the IPv4 address. |
---|---|
Subnet Mask | Displays the subnet mask. This is a thirty-two bit address mask used in IP to indicate the bits of an IP address that are being used for the subnet address. |
IPv6 Addresses
Name | Defines the name of the address. This could be link local, IPv6 address 1, or IPv6 address 2. |
---|---|
IP Address | Displays the IPv6 address. |
Prefix Length | Displays the prefix length of the IPv6 address. This is the number of bits in an IP address that specify its network number. |
Physical/Team Interface Receive Statistics
Good Frames | Displays the total number of readable frames received by the port. |
---|---|
Bad Frames | Displays the total number of unreadable frames received by the port. |
Alignment Errors | Displays the count of frames received on a particular interface that are not an integral number of octets and do not pass the FCS check. |
FCS Errors | Displays a count of frames received on a particular interface but do not pass the FCS check. |
Frames too long | Displays a count of frames that exceed the max permitted frame size. |
Internal MAC Receive error | Displays the number of frames for which reception failed due to an internal MAC receive error. |
Physical/Team Interface Transmit Statistics
Good Frames | Displays the total number of readable frames transmitted by the port. |
---|---|
Bad Frames | Displays the total number of unreadable frames transmitted by the port. |
Single Collision Frames | Displays the frames that are involved in single collisions but are subsequently transmitted successfully. |
Multiple Collision Frames | Displays the count of frames transmitted across an interface where more than one collision exists. |
Deferred Transmits | Displays the number of first transmissions attempts delayed because the medium was busy. |
Collisions | Displays the number of frames for which one or more collisions occurred when the frames were sent. |
Late Collisions | Displays the number of frames for which late collision has occurred when the frames were sent. |
Excessive Collisions | Displays the number of times a transmission failed due to excessive collision. |
Carrier Sense Errors | Displays the number of times a carrier sense has been lost during transmission. |
Internal MAC Transmit Errors | Displays the number of frames for which reception failed due to an internal MAC transmit error. |
