CLI Guide

Usage Information
Use this show interfaces command for details on a specific interface. Use the
show interfaces stack-unit command for details on all interfaces on the
designated stack unit.
On the I/O Aggregator, the show interface output displays incorrect rate
information details over time for link monitoring when the rate-interval is
configured for 5 seconds. Dell Networking recommends using higher rate-intervals
such as 15 to 299 seconds to minimize the errors seen.
NOTE: In the CLI output, the power value will be rounded to a 3-digit value.
For receive/transmit power that is less than 0.000, an snmp query will return
the corresponding dbm value even though the CLI displays as 0.000.
NOTE: After the counters are cleared, the line-rate continues to increase until
it reaches the maximum line rate. When the maximum line rate is reached,
there will be no change in the line-rate.
