Subject: Question: Proper place for port details?
Date: Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:28:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <506D4896.8080900@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Some network device drivers are capable of collecting further
information on the link partner, e.g. reporting details on the port
in the adjacent switch. Is there a good place to make these
available outside of the kernel? ethtool gives a bit of information
like the link partner's speed or duplex mode. But is adding further
information about the link partner to ethtool desired, or is there a
better place somewhere else?
Ciao,
Stefan
