Final answer:
To collect 10 seconds of data using the ifstat command on a virtual machine, open the terminal or command prompt, type 'ifstat' followed by the name of your interface, and wait for 10 seconds. The fastest interface in speed for incoming traffic is [interface name] with a speed of [speed] KB/s. The fastest interface in speed for outgoing traffic is [interface name] with a speed of [speed] KB/s.
Step-by-step explanation:
To collect 10 seconds of data using the ifstat command on a virtual machine, follow these steps:
- Open the terminal or command prompt on the virtual machine.
- Type 'ifstat' followed by the name of your interface. For example, if your interface is eth0, the command would be 'ifstat eth0'.
- Press enter to start collecting data. Wait for 10 seconds to let the command collect the data.
- After 10 seconds, the ifstat command will display statistics including the interface speeds. Note down the interface with the highest speed for both incoming and outgoing traffic.
For example, if the interface eth1 has the highest incoming speed of 100 KB/s and the interface eth2 has the highest outgoing speed of 200 KB/s, you would answer the questions as follows:
- The name of your interface is eth1 (for incoming speed) and eth2 (for outgoing speed).
- The fastest interface in speed for incoming traffic is eth1 with a speed of 100 KB/s.
- The fastest interface in speed for outgoing traffic is eth2 with a speed of 200 KB/s.
