How to see Network Link status

In order to see if there is network link connectivity, you can check it by using the following commands: SunOS: $ ndd -get /dev/e1000g0 link_status 0 $ ndd -get /dev/e1000g0 link_status 1 where 0 means no link and 1 link OK and e1000g0 is your network interface. In case of older machines where the device is not associated with a port, you do first $ ndd -set /dev/eri instance 0 in order to set the instance of eri device to 0 and then get the status of the device. $ ndd -get /dev/eri link_status 1$ Linux: $ ethtool eth0 | egrep Link Link detected: no $ ethtool eth3 | egrep Link Link detected: yes
