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. |
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. |
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. |
