Dell Command Line Reference Guide for the S4048–ON System 9.14.2.4

PDF

show interfaces

Display information on a specific physical interface or virtual interface.

Syntax
show interfaces interface-type[—range]
Parameters
interface
Enter one of the following keywords and the interface information:
  • For a Loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback then a number from 0 to 16383.
  • For stack-units, enter the keywords stack-unit then the slot/port information.
  • For a Null interface, enter the keyword null then the Null interface number.
  • For a port channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a number.
  • For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port[/subport] information.
  • For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
  • For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094.
  • For a tunnel interface, enter the keyword tunnel then the tunnel ID. The range is from 1 to 16383.
NOTE This command also enables you to view information corresponding to a range of ports. However, for Open Networking (ON) platforms the notation for specifying port range in the command is different from how you specify in non-ON platforms.
-range
(Optional) Enter the range of interfaces for which you want to view the information. The format is interface-type slot/port/[subport]-slot/port/[subport]
Command Modes

Usage Information

Use the show interfaces command for details on a specific interface.

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.
User Information

The following table describes the show interfaces command shown in the 10G example.

Line
Description
TenGigabitEthernet 1/1...
Interface type 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, unknown — Unable to determine the optics type
  • Unknown — If the wavelength is reading an error

Dell EMC Networking allows unsupported SFP and XFP transceivers to be used, but Dell EMC 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 the SNMP uses to identify the interface.
Internet address...
States whether an IP address is assigned to the interface. If an IP address is assigned, that address is displayed.
MTU 1554...
Displays link and IP MTU information.
LineSpeed
Displays the interface’s line speed, duplex mode, and negotiation mode.
Energy Efficient Ethernet
Displays whether Energy Efficient Ethernet has been enabled or not.
ARP type:...
Displays the ARP type and the ARP timeout value for the interface.
Last clearing...
Displays the time when the show interfaces counters where cleared.
Queuing strategy...
States the packet queuing strategy. FIFO means first in first out.
Input Statistics:
Displays all the input statistics including:
  • Number of packets and bytes into the interface
  • Number of packets with VLAN tagged headers
  • Packet size and the number of those packets inbound to the interface
  • Number of Multicast and Broadcast packets:
    • Multicasts = number of MAC multicast packets
    • Broadcasts = number of MAC broadcast packets
  • Number of runts, giants, and throttles packets:
    • runts = number of packets that are less than 64B
    • giants = packets that are greater than the MTU size
    • throttles = packets containing PAUSE frames
  • Number of CRC, overrun, and discarded packets:
    • CRC = packets with CRC/FCS errors
    • overrun = number of packets discarded due to FIFO overrun conditions
    • discarded = the sum of runts, giants, CRC, and overrun packets discarded without any processing
Output Statistics:
Displays output statistics sent out of the interface including:
  • Number of packets, bytes, and underruns out of the interface
  • Packet size and the number of the packets outbound to the interface
  • Number of Multicast, Broadcast, and Unicast packets:
    • Multicasts = number of MAC multicast packets
    • Broadcasts = number of MAC broadcast packets
    • Unicasts = number of MAC unicast packets
  • Number of VLANs, throttles, discards, and collisions:
    • Vlans = number of VLAN tagged packets
    • throttles = packets containing PAUSE frames
    • discarded = number of packets discarded without any processing
    • collisions = number of packet collisions
    • wred=count both packets discarded in the MAC and in the hardware-based queues
Rate information...
Estimate of the input and output traffic rate over a designated interval (30 to 299 seconds). Traffic rate is displayed in bits, packets per second, and percent of line rate.
Time since...
Elapsed time since the last interface status change (hh:mm:ss format).
