Command for showing adapter card performance?

[khhoban]

Would there be a command to show me how the ethernet card is truely performing on an AIX 4.2.1 and 4.3.3 server. I would like to make sure that the card is running at the 100-full duplex setting. What type of read/write numbers means that the adapter is being saturated? Any other helpful hints to adapter performance monitoring and tuning?

Thanks!

Well ' netstat -I <adaptor name> 2 ' will show you packet statistics, throughput, dropped packets, errors etc. I'm not sure if it shows duplex or TXFR mode though.

Also if you have ' topas ' it shows you network, vmem, cpu, hdisk, and many more options in semi real time.

You might also check ' smit ' and look at the configuration options for your ethernet adapter.

netstat -v will give you plenty of information about your adapters. If you do netstat -v en0 | grep -i speed
you will be able to tell what your current speed is.

hi,

you can also try running entstat -d en?
will show you device and driver statistics and speed port is running at etc..
