NAME

6       ethstatus - Console-based ethernet statistics monitor

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

13       ethstatus is a console-based monitoring utility for displaying  statis‐
14       tical data of the ethernet interface on a quantity basis.
15

OPTIONS

17       The following options can be provided:
18
19       -i     Specify the ethernet interface which shall be monitored. Default
20              is 'eth0'.
21
22       -v     Set the video mode used by curses. Possible  choices  are  'vga'
23              (the default) and 'mono' (useful for black-and-white monitors).
24
25       -S     Set  the  maximum  network  speed  in bits per second. ethstatus
26              knows about the kilo (k), mega (m) and giga  (g)  modifiers.  So
27              you can specify the speed as e.g. 64k or 100m or 1g.
28
29       -s     Set  the  maximum  network  speed. Possible values are '10' (=10
30              Mbps), ´100' (=100 Mbps), '64' (=64 kbps),  '128'  (=128  kbps),
31              256  (=256 kbps), ´768' (=768 kbps) or '1540' (=1540 kbps). This
32              option is provided for backward compatibility to prior  versions
33              of ethstatus. Please use the -S parameter instead.
