Command Line Reference Guide

Version Description
6.3.1.0 Added the Pluggable Media Type field in the E-Series
TeraScale output.
Usage
Information
Use the show interfaces command for details on a specific interface. Use the
show interfaces linecard command for details on all interfaces on the
designated line card.
NOTE: In the CLI output, the power value is rounded to a 3-digit value. For
receive/transmit power that is less than 0.000, an snmp query returns 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 is no change in the line-rate.
User
Information
The following table describes the show interfaces command shown in the 10G
example below.
Line Description
TenGigabitEthern
et 0/0...
Interface type, slot/port, and administrative and line
protocol status.
Hardware is... Interface hardware information, assigned MAC address, and
current address.
Pluggable media
present...
Present pluggable media wavelength, type, and rate. The
error scenarios are:
• Wavelength, Non-qualified — Dell Force10 ID is not
present, but wavelength information is available from
XFP or SFP serial data
• Wavelength, F10 unknown—Dell Force10 ID is present,
but not able to determine the optics type
• Unknown, Non-qualified— if wavelength is reading error,
and F10 ID is not present
Dell Networking allows unsupported SFP and XFP
transceivers to be used, but the system might not be able to
retrieve some data about them. In that case, typically when
the output of this field is “Pluggable media present, Media
type is unknown”, the Medium and the XFP/SFP receive
power reading data might not be present in the output.
Interface index... Displays the interface index number used by SNMP to
identify the interface.
Internet address... States whether an IP address is assigned to the interface. If
an IP address is assigned, that address is displayed.
MTU 1554... Displays link and IP MTU information.
