DESCRIPTION

Port

This is the Ethernet port (LAN) or wireless LAN adaptor (WLAN).

 

 

Status

This shows the port speed and duplex setting if you are using

 

Ethernet encapsulation for the Ethernet port. Ethernet port

 

connections can be in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. Full-duplex

 

refers to a device's ability to send and receive simultaneously, while

 

half-duplex indicates that traffic can flow in only one direction at a

 

time. The Ethernet port must use the same speed or duplex mode

 

setting as the peer Ethernet port in order to connect.

 

This shows the transmission speed only for the wireless adaptors.

 

 

TxPkts

This is the number of transmitted packets on this port.

 

 

RxPkts

Tx B/s

This shows the transmission speed in bytes per second on this port.
