The crate provides a way to get the link information of the NIC, including the port type, supported modes. The crate is based on the ioctl command, so it can only be used on Linux.
List all the NICs' port information.
use ethtool::get_nic_port_info;
let nics_port = get_nic_port_info(None);
for nic_port in nics_port {
println!("NIC: {}", nic_port.name());
println!("Port: {}", nic_port.port());
println!("Supported: {:?}", nic_port.supported());
}
Get the port information of the specified NIC.
use ethtool::get_nic_port_info;
let nics_port = get_nic_port_info(Some("eth0"));
for nic_port in nics_port {
println!("NIC: {}", nic_port.name());
println!("Port: {}", nic_port.port());
println!("Supported: {:?}", nic_port.supported());
}
Get the port information of the specified NIC by PortInfo.
use ethtool::PortInfo;
let nic_port = PortInfo::from_name("eth0").unwrap();
println!("NIC: {}", nic_port.name());
println!("Port: {}", nic_port.port());
println!("Supported: {:?}", nic_port.supported());
