How to identifying the network card ?

UNIX Solaris

Hi Experts,

Can we use some command from unix to find the available network interface? I did tried

Its listing following, however how can I decide the which vender card is attached

e.g. if its hme , bge or some thing else

Thanks

ifconfig -a

Before anyone touches a UNIX based system are 10 commands they should know, this is one of them.

Thanks stevi

I am aware about the above option, any thing else apart from this!

prtconf |grep -i net
from the system's ok> prompt, you may try to perform a "watch-net-all" to test the cards as well

Thanks incredible!

# prtconf |grep -i net
network, instance #0
network, instance #1
network, instance #2
network, instance #3

Is only listing the number of network instance ia m looking for some thing like bge, hme .

grep net /etc/path_to_inst

That doesn't always work, I can't remember which type of device cause a problem but I do recall not finding all my devices on some boxes.

With Solaris 10 or later

dladm show-dev
