ifstat [<interface>] [<interface>...]
ifstat
ifstat net0
Display the state of the specified network interfaces. If no network interfaces are explicitly specified, iPXE will display the state of all available network interfaces.
The output will show key information about each network interface. For example:
iPXE> ifstat net0: 52:54:00:12:34:56 using rtl8139 on PCI00:03.0 (open) [Link:up, TX:5 TXE:0 RX:10 RXE:3] [RXE: 1 x "The socket is not connected (http://ipxe.org/380f6001)"]
In this example you can see that there is a single network interface net0
, using the rtl8139
driver on PCI device 00:03.0
. The interface has been opened using ifopen
.
The more detailed information shows that the link is up, and shows the number of packets transmitted and received.1) It also shows a detailed breakdown of any transmit or receive errors. In this example, you can see that there has been a single receive error, which is described at http://ipxe.org/380f6001 as being a harmless error indicating that a UDP packet was received for a port on which iPXE was not listening.
ifstat
displays information about the physical network interface. To view information about the IP addresses assigned to the network interface, you can use the route
command. To view statistics about IP traffic, you can use the ipstat
command.
