By default, topas only shows the two busiest network interfaces. One of
these will almost inevitably be lo0.
To show more - or fewer - interfaces, use the -n flag.
e.g. "topas -n 4" should show lo0 and the three ethernet adapters.
I'm not sure what xmperf is doing; it's a long time since I used it.
Presumably en2 is the busiest interface.
How did you remove en3? What do you get with lsdev and other commands?
