interfaceShow
The 
interfaceShow 
command displays FSPF interface information. This includes 
static information about the port (for example, variables allocated even when a port is 
down), and “neighbor” information which includes variables associated with the 
remote switch connected to the port. A FSPF interface corresponds to an E_Port. The 
static information fields are described in Table 4-20. Neighbor information fields are 
described in Table 4-21.
With no parameters, it shows the information for all switch interfaces. The command 
syntax is 
interfaceShow
<port#>
.
Table 4-19. fspfShow Command Field Descriptions

version The version of the FSPF protocol.
domainID The local switch’s domain ID.
isl_ports A bitmap field that shows all local switch E_Ports.
startTime The time the FSPF started, in milliseconds from boot.

Descriptions
Field Description
idbP  The current neighbor state. Its value must be NB_ST_FULL 
for the ISL to forward frames to the adjacent switch. Other 
values may be transitory, however if a value is retained for 
more than ten seconds, contact Dell for technical assistance.
nghbP Neighbor capabilities has a value of 0.
ifNo  The port number. It should be identical to the value specified 
in the command line.
cost The cost of sending a frame over the ISL connected to this 
port. The value 1000 indicates a 1-gigabits per second (Gbps) 
link.
delay The conventional delay incurred by a frame transmitted on 
this ISL. It is required by the FSPF protocol, and is a fixed 
value.
lastScn Last State Change Notification (SCN) received on this 
interface.
lastScnTime Time the last SCN was received.
upCount The number of times this interface initialized (the transition 
number from an offline to E_Port state).
