Deployment Guide

Viewing Interface Information
To view interface status and auto-congured parameters use show commands.
The show interfaces command in EXEC mode lists all congurable 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 trac passing through the interface. If you congure a
port channel interface, the
show interfaces command lists the interfaces congured 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 Dell
Networking Operating System (OS) returns to the command prompt.
NOTE: The CLI output may be incorrectly displayed as 0 (zero) for the Rx/Tx power values. Perform an simple network
management protocol (SNMP) query to obtain the correct power information.
The following example shows the conguration and status information for one interface.

To view only congured interfaces use the show interfaces congured command in EXEC Privilege mode.
To determine which physical interfaces are available, use the show running-config command in EXEC mode. This command displays
all physical interfaces available on the switch, which is as shown in the following example.
Dell#show running config
