Hopefully, a clear title on this post will help other find it in the future.)īr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 38:2C:4A:5D:24:78 (Sorry, I know this is a duplicate, because I read a post with this info. address on it (what is this?), lo (127.0.0.1, I understand this, loopback address) and aux0, which has the same MAC address as eth0, vlan1, vlan1 but PeakHour shows a red dot on this one (others are green). I thought it would sort out easily - that I would do a speed test and see a huge bump on two interfaces. ![]() (I guess PeakHour is probably just a crappy app.) ![]() And the values I get just don't make sense at all. I do a speed test from a device on one, and I see traffic on both. And this is where it gets crazy and infuriating. I conclude from this that eth0 and eth1 are 2.4 and 5gHz wireless interfaces, but I do not know which one is which. It does list a MAC address, which is the same on eth0, vlan1, and eth1. I am assuming, then (just naming convention.) that vlan1 is LAN? There is no IP address listed in PeakHour for eth0, though. PeakHour itself suggests that vlan2 is the WAN interface, and is shown with my WAN IP address. ![]() Obviously, I am not looking at what I think I am looking at! I see traffic on BOTH interfaces, in opposite directions, so it just doesn't make sense. I do a speed test from a wireless device to the Internet, say, on 2.4 gHz, then disconnect and reconnect on 5gHz and repeat. In particular, wireless traffic doesn't make sense to me. There results I get with bandwidth-monitoring tools simply do not make sense. I don't know if this is what I will ultimately use, it is just for plinking around and helping me understand what is what. I want to monitor LAN, WAN, and 2.4 and 5gHz wireless bandwidth with SNMP.įor now I am using PeakHour on OS X, just because it is easy to set-up. I am having a heck of a time figuring out what interface is what on the AC87.
