ethtool on VPS

networking

Somebody probably knows this off the top of their head. But is there any way to make ethtool work on a Linode (or any) VPS? I try running sudo ethtool -S eth0 and get back "no stats available". Similarly if I just run sudo ethtool eth0 it only returns information that the link is up.

Many Thanks!

The reason why you are getting "no stats available" is because your interface does not support statistics. You can find more information with the command below.

ethtool -i eth0 | grep -oE "supports-statistics.*"

In short, EthTool is working, it's just that your interface does not support the operation you are requesting. Let me know if you require further help.
