Determine the ethernet (NIC) card speed.
Hi,
Does anyone know how can I determine the maximum capable speed on a network interface card for different OS like HP, Sun, AIX and Linux.
I am aware of the tool "ethtool" which can be used for Linux. Are there any handly commands or /proc files where I can get this info depending on the OS. Thanks

Hi,
We have a 4 port Sun gigaswift NIC card on our sun fire server.
If the card is a physical one I know how to check the settings/speed. But since this is a virtual card with 4 ports , I am not sure as how we can check the settings.

Hi guys,
Suppose you have a server with two ethernet cards (1GB each) and each cards are connecting to two different switches cisco 3750. My question is:
How can I setup my server's network interfaces to increase the throughput up to 2GB? is it possible? If not, do you know another way to up... (3 Replies)

Hi,
I have few Solaris (9 and 10) servers, whose consoles are running on 10 MBPs. Now, Network team is changing their switch, which doesn't support 10 MBPs and we need to check if console all of those servers will support 100MBPs or more.
Is there any way to check supported (or maximum supported)... (7 Replies)

veth(4) Linux Programmer's Manual veth(4)
NAME
veth - Virtual Ethernet Device
DESCRIPTION
The veth devices are virtual Ethernet devices. They can act as tunnels between network namespaces to create a bridge to a physical network
device in another namespace, but can also be used as standalone network devices.
veth devices are always created in interconnected pairs. A pair can be created using the command:
# ip link add <p1-name> type veth peer name <p2-name>
In the above, p1-name and p2-name are the names assigned to the two connected end points.
Packets transmitted on one device in the pair are immediately received on the other device. When either devices is down the link state of
the pair is down.
veth device pairs are useful for combining the network facilities of the kernel together in interesting ways. A particularly interesting
use case is to place one end of a veth pair in one network namespace and the other end in another network namespace, thus allowing communi-
cation between network namespaces. To do this, one first creates the veth device as above and then moves one side of the pair to the other
namespace:
# ip link set <p2-name> netns <p2-namespace>
ethtool(8) can be used to find the peer of a veth network interface, using commands something like:
# ip link add ve_A type veth peer name ve_B # Create veth pair
# ethtool -S ve_A # Discover interface index of peer
NIC statistics:
peer_ifindex: 16
# ip link | grep '^16:' # Look up interface
16: ve_B@ve_A: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc ...
