HOW TO Check Port Speed On Linux Server

Many server admins would like to check what port speed their server was configured by their host provider. If you paid for a 10Mbs or 1000Mbs connection, you definitely want to check on its correct provisioning.

Log into your server via putty and enter this command.

STEPS

root@server [~]# mii-tool

You will get a response like this example.

eth0: 100 Mbit, full duplex, link ok

mii-tool Command variables.

mii-tool [-v, --verbose] [-V, --version] [-R, --reset] [-r, --restart] [-w, --watch] [-l, --log] [-A, --advertise=media,...] [-F, --force=media] [interface ...]
