NFS + NIC question 1

[mag007]

I have 4 ethernet interfaces (en0, en1, en2, en3).

I have a NFS mount, and I am not sure what interface the traffic is going thru, is there a way to find out?

TIA

hi,
NFS client or server ?
If you say "NFS mount" probably you are at client side.

What I will say is good for NFS or any other services.

First of all, ensure that all 4 nic are wired: if
one ore more of them are not, you have less work to do.

Similar, check if all nic have an ip address.

Each nic has an ip address and the NFS server has its own.

Ping your NFS server and note the ip address.
If this is in the subnet of one of the 4 nic,
that is the nic.

If the subnet mask of the NFS server is out of the
subnet of your 4 nics, or you have defined static routes
(see them) or more probable the traffic passes for
default gateway and there is just a nic that routes
to DG.

You can also do this on the NFS Server. The command "rpcinfo -p" would give you information including the port number nfsd is running on. My system reported 2049.

You can then use "netstat -an | grep 2049" and if the mount is active you should see an established connection from the client system and the IP interface it is using.
