Use this window to view information about a specific network interface controller
(NIC).
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.
NOTE: Server Administrator is
unable to get the duplex mode for Intel NICs on Microsoft Windows operating
systems and reports the value as 'Unknown'.
|
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 hexadecimals. |
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) 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. |
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.
NOTE: For Broadcom NICs, the firmware family version
is reported if it is accessible by Server Administrator. If the firmware
family version is accessible on Windows operating systems, Server
Administrator will report the firmware family version and the firmware
component versions that are available for the NIC. If the firmware family
version is not accessible on Windows operating systems, Server Administrator
will report the firmware component versions that are available for the NIC.
If the firmware family version is accessible on Linux operating systems,
Server Administrator will report the firmware family version and the
firmware version value that is provided by the NIC driver. If the firmware
family version is not accessible on Linux operating systems, Server
Administrator will report the firmware version value that is provided by the
NIC driver. The firmware version value that is provided by the NIC driver on
Linux operating systems is typically the boot code version followed by one
of the other firmware component versions. |
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 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.
|
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. |
Bytes |
Displays the total number of octets received on the
interface, including framing characters. |
Total Packets |
Displays the total packets received. |
Unicast Packets |
Displays the number of inbound packets that were not
addressed to a multicast or broadcast address. |
Multicast
Packets |
Displays the number of multicast packets
received. |
Broadcast
Packets |
Displays the number of broadcast packets
received. |
Discarded Packets |
Displays the number of inbound packets discarded. |
Error Packets |
Displays the number of inbound packets that contained
errors. |
Unknown Protocol Packets |
Displays the number of packets which were discarded
due to unknown or unsupported protocol. |
