Port Interface Commands
The following commands are for physical, loopback, and null interfaces:
● clear counters
● clear mac-address-table dynamic
● interface range
● interface vlan
● keepalive
● monitor interface
●
name
● show config (INTERFACE mode)
● show config (from INTERFACE RANGE mode)
● show config (from INTERFACE VLAN mode)
● show interfaces configured
● show interfaces description
● show interfaces stack-unit
● show interfaces port-channel
● show interfaces status
● show interfaces switchport
● show vlan
● shutdown
● speed (for 1000/10000 interfaces)
Port Channel Commands
A Link Aggregation Group (LAG) is a group of links that appear to a MAC client as if they were a single link according to IEEE
802.3ad. In Dell Networking OS, a LAG is referred to as a Port Channel.
● For the Aggregator, the maximum port channel ID is 128 and the maximum members per port channel is 16.
Because each port can be assigned to only one Port Channel, and each Port Channel must have at least one port, some of those
nominally available Port Channels might have no function because they could have no members if there are not enough ports
installed. In the Aggregator, stack members can provide those ports.
The commands in this section are specific to Port Channel interfaces:
● auto vlan
● monitor interface
● show config (from INTERFACE RANGE mode)
● show interfaces port-channel
NOTE:
The Dell Networking OS implementation of LAG or Port Channel requires that you configure a LAG on both switches
manually. For information about Dell Networking OS link aggregation control protocol (LACP) for dynamic LAGs, refer to the
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) chapter. For more information about configuring and using Port Channels, refer
to the Dell PowerEdge M I/O Aggregator Configuration Guide
Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) Commands
TDR is useful for troubleshooting an interface that is not establishing a link; either it is flapping or not coming up at all. TDR
detects open or short conditions of copper cables on 100/1000/10G Base-T modules.
● tdr-cable-test
● show tdr
