CLI

See the Gaia Administration Guide for your version.

  • To see the traffic statistics for interfaces, run these commands in Gaia Clish:

    show interfaces all

    show interface <Name of Interface>

  • To see the interface driver / firmware, run this command in the Expert mode:

    show interface <Name of Interface> driver-information

  • To see the interface driver / firmware, run this command in the Expert mode:

    ethtool -i <Name of Interface>
