Monitoring and Maintaining Interfaces
Monitor interface statistics with the monitor interface command. This command displays an ongoing list of the interface status (up/
down), number of packets, trac statistics, and so on.
To view the interface’s statistics, use the following command.
View the interface’s statistics.

Enter the type of interface and slot/port information:
For a 100/1000/10000 Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
Example of the monitor interface Command
The information displays in a continuous run, refreshing every 2 seconds by default. To manage the output, use the following keys.
