Blink Lights On Network Card

ethtool -p eth0 10

This will blink the lights for 10 seconds. However if you get this message...

Cannot identify NIC: Operation not supported

...you are out of luck because it only works with some chipsets and drivers:-

"-p initiates adapter-specific action intended to enable an operator to easily identify the adapter by sight. Typically this involves blinking one or more LEDs on the specific ethernet port."

Detect Ip Address Conflicts

Install the relevant software, for Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install arp-scan

For CentOS, Fedora or Redhat:


sudo yum install arp-scan

Once installed to use:

sudo arp-scan -I eth0 -l

This should return something similar to:

Interface: eth0, datalink type: EN10MB (Ethernet)
