NICs

With the NetQ UI, you can view the attributes of individual network interface controllers (NICs), including their connection adapters and firmware versions. For NIC inventory information, refer to NIC Inventory.

NIC telemetry for ConnectX adapters is supported for on-premises NetQ deployments. You must have DOCA Telemetry Service enabled and Prometheus targets configured to display NIC data in NetQ.

View NIC Attributes in the UI

To view attributes per NIC, open a NIC device card:

  1. Click Devices in the header, then click Open a device card.

  2. Select a NIC from the dropdown.

  3. Click Add to open an individual NIC card on your workbench, displaying ports, packets, and bytes information:

For a quick look at the key attributes of a particular NIC, expand the NIC card. Attributes are displayed as the default tab on the large NIC card. Select the Interface stats tab at the top of the card to view detailed interface statistics, including frame and carrier errors.
