ethtool: Display the current settings for an interface.
$ ethtool ${eth0}
try on your machine
The command "ethtool ${eth0}" is using the ethtool utility with the parameter "eth0".
Here's a breakdown:
- "ethtool" is a command-line utility available on Linux systems that allows you to query and configure Ethernet devices.
- "${eth0}" is a variable indicating the network interface to be analyzed or configured. In the context of this command, "eth0" is likely the name of a specific network interface on your system. The "${...}" syntax is often used to reference or substitute values of variables in shell scripts or command lines.
So, when the command "ethtool ${eth0}" is executed, it will run the ethtool utility on the network interface specified by the "eth0" variable. The specific analysis or configuration details provided by ethtool will depend on the options passed or configured.
