How to see network traffic per interface in FreeBSD?

[dellpe]

Want to see an amount of traffic passed through interface since boot. It's an ISPManager VDS with FreeBSD 8.0, and

ifconfig -L epair521b -B
does nothing.

Want to have output like Linux's ifconfig:

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
...

RX bytes:6642443661 (6.1 GiB) TX bytes:6642443661 (6.1 GiB)

Hope you can help me.Just reply me or send me an E-mail:dong@huanetwork.com.Thank you very much!

FreeBSD 8.0 is end-of-life since November 2012 and is not supported any more. Please upgrade to a supported version.

And after upgrade, try the netstat() command

netstat -b -d -h -i em0

systat -ifs also provides useful information by interface and in a more readable form, at the expense of some detail, than netstat -bdhi.

I use net-mgmt/mrtg for this. It works great. It is not difficult to set this up.
