This command has options to display the interface status, IP and MAC addresses, and multiple counters
for the amount and type of traffic passing through the interface.
If you configured a port channel interface, this command lists the interfaces configured in the port
channel.
NOTE: To end output from the system, such as the output from the show interfaces command,
enter CTRL+C and the system returns to the command prompt.
