Checking network interfaces on Solaris

Just a quick note. This is for Sun Solaris. All commands need to be performed as root.

ndd -get /dev/hme link_status ndd -get /dev/hme link_mode ndd -get /dev/hme link_speed

The output of each of these would have the following meaning:

link_status: 0=down 1=up link_mode: 0=half duplex 1=full duplex link_speed: 0=10Mbps 1=100Mbps

To get the MAC address of the physical interface do a ifconfig -a. Again, as root. Doing this as a user will only give you the interface name and IP/subnet mask assigned to each logical interface, but not the MAC address (which is shared by all logical interfaces).
