Command
History
Version 9.0(1.3) Introduced on the S5000.
Usage
Information
Use the show interfaces command for details on a specific interface. Use the
show interfaces stack-unit command for details on all interfaces on the
designated stack-unit.
On the S5000, the show interface output displays incorrect rate information
details over time for link monitoring when the rate-interval is configured for 5
seconds. Dell Networking recommends using higher rate-intervals such as 15 to
299 seconds to minimize the errors seen.
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.
The following describes the show interfaces command shown in the Example
below.
TenGigabitEthe
rnet 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 Networking (Force10)
ID is not present, but wavelength information is available
from XFP or SFP serial data
• Wavelength, F10 unknown—Dell Networking (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
Although the S5000 allows unsupported SFP and XFP
transceivers to be used, but Dell Networking OS 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.
