I have a cablemodem connected to eth0; eth1 is used for the internal network. I used cfgmaker to create a config for eth0 and for the interfaces on the cablemodem (a docsis-compatible SB5100).
I don't understand what the various cablemodem interfaces mean nor do I understand how I can use these interfaces to graph the bandwidth I am using when connected to the internet. cfgmaker found 4 interfaces on the SB5100: 1) ifType: ethernetCsmacd (6); ifName: eth0 2) skipped 3) ifType: CATV Downstream Interface (128); ifname: <none> 4) ifType: CATV Upstream Interface (129); ifname: <none> 5) ifType: (160); ifName: usb0 The downstream interface (interface 3) seems to have exactly the same graph for incoming bytes as that shown for my server's eth0 interface. Interfaces 1 and 4 show only outbound bytes but I have no idea what this represents. Can anyone explain? Ultimately, what I'd like to graph is the amount of my available bandwidth that I am currently consuming in both directions. Any suggestions how to do this?
