Network Ethernet Port Checker

If you want to make sure which physical interface is eth0 and which is eth1 or eth2 and so on

run:

#ethtool -p eth0 20

This blinks the LED on the interface for five seconds–without interrupting network traffic.

#ethtool eth0

This will show the port speed .

A good article over ethtool can be found here.
