Showing Status Information

There are various “show” commands which display configuration settings or the status of specified

processes. Many of these commands will not display any information unless the switch is properly

configured, and in some cases the interface to which a command applies is up.

For example, if a static router port is configured, the corresponding show command will not display

any information unless IGMP snooping is enabled, and the link for the static router port is up.
