Usage
Information
Use the show interfaces command for details on a specific interface.
In the output of the show interfaces managementEthernet slot/port
command, the value displayed for the bytes field under the Input Statistics section
is 4 bytes less for each packet that is received (inbound) by the interface. For
example, if 1000 packets, with each packet being 64 bytes in size, arrive at the
interface, the bytes count is displayed as 6000. The lower value for the byte
statistical counter is because of 4 bytes being discarded for each packet from the
computation.
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 table describes the show interfaces command shown in the 10G
(TeraScale) 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
