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 %.
