IPTraf currently supports the following network interface types and names.
lo
The loopback interface. Every machine has one, and has an IP address
of 127.0.0.1. lo is also indicated if data
is detected on the
dummyn interface(s).
ethn
An Ethernet interface. n starts from 0.
Therefore, eth0 refers to the first
Ethernet interface, eth1 to the second, and
so on. Most machines only have one.
fddin
An FDDI interface. n starts from 0.
trn
A Token Ring interface, where n starts from 0.
pppn
A PPP interface. n starts from 0.
slin
A SLIP interface. n starts from 0.
ipppn
A synchronous PPP interface using ISDN.
n starts from 0.
isdnn
ISDN interfaces can be given arbitrary names, but for them to work
with IPTraf, they must
be named isdnn.
IPTraf supports synchronous PPP
(the ipppn
interfaces above), raw IP, and Cisco-HDLC encapsulation.
plipn
PLIP interfaces. These are point-to-point IP connections using the PC
parallel port.
ipsecn
This refers to Free s/WAN (and possibly other) logical VPN interfaces.
sbnin
SBNI long-range modem interfaces
dvbn,
sm200, sm300
DVB satellite-receive interfaces
wlann,
wvlann
Wireless LAN interfaces
tunn
general logical tunnel interfaces
brgn
general logical bridge interfaces
hdlcn
Frame Relay base (FRAD) interfaces (non-PVC)
pvcn
Frame Relay Permanent Virtual Circuit interfaces
Your system's network interfaces must be named according
to the schemes specified above.
