Interface Types
View Basic Interface Information
The user has several options for viewing interface status and configuration parameters. The show
interfaces
command in EXEC mode will list all configurable interfaces on the chassis and 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 a port channel interface is configured, the
show interfaces
command can list the interfaces configured in the port channel.
The example below displays the configuration and status information for one interface.
