We have an aggregated link on an Adtran 1638PoE (4 1Gig's on copper) that are tied to an HP switch via a trunk. Lights are lit and we are flowing data back and forth....how the heck do you figure out (from the command line) the aggregated speed? On a Cisco switch it was easy. On the Adtran and HP switch all you can see is that the links are up....how do you figure out total bandwidth???

Bandwidth

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
