Which command on the storage system provides detailed statistics about network interfaces?

• A. ifstat -a
• B. netdiag -n
• C. netstat -i
• D. sysstat 1

Answer: (A)

Monitoring network performance requires a command that dives into per-interface statistics. Ifstat -a is the one that delivers this in detail, reporting on each network interface with current throughput and counters such as packets, errors, and drops. The -a option expands the view to every interface, giving a complete, real-time snapshot you can use to spot bottlenecks, failing NICs, or unusual traffic patterns. Other options aren’t as focused on per-interface statistics. netdiag -n performs broader network diagnostics rather than detailed interface counters. netstat -i shows interface counts but often does not provide the same depth or real-time throughput detail. sysstat 1 isn’t a NetApp command for this purpose.
