Network Adapter Inventory

•

NIC Configuration

Displays the name and location of the network adapter

◦

◦

Displays the supported and negotiated PCI protocol (bus speed) of the network adapter

◦

Lists the number of ports on the NIC adapter, including any upgrade modules installed
on the network adapter

•

NIC Ports—Displays all IP addresses assigned to the network ports

•

Network Teams—The state of all the ports on all network adapters

Network port

The following information is provided for a network port.

Network Port Status

•

MBytes/Sec—The average number of megabytes transferred (transmitted or received) over
the NIC port each second.

•

MBits TX/Sec—The average number of megabits transmitted from the selected NIC port each
second.

•

MBits RX/Sec—The average number of megabits received by the selected NIC port each
second.

•

TX Utilization %—The percentage of data that is transmitted from the selected NIC port. This
value is calculated from the TX MBits/Sec and the operating speed of the NIC port.

•

RX Utilization %—The percentage of data that is received from the selected NIC port. This
value is calculated from the RX MBits/Sec and the operating speed of the NIC port.

•

Port Utilization %—The percentage of data that is transferred (transmitted over the NIC port).
If the port is running in full duplex mode, Port Utilization % is the higher of TX Utilization %
and RX Utilization %. If the port is running in half duplex mode, Port Utilization % is the sum
of TX Utilization % and RX Utilization %.
