View Basic Interface Information

To view basic interface information, use the following command.

You have several options for viewing interface status and configuration parameters.
Lists all configurable interfaces on the chassis.
EXEC mode
show interfaces
This command has options to display the interface status, IP and MAC addresses, and multiple counters for the amount and type of traffic passing through the interface.
If you configured a port channel interface, this command lists the interfaces configured in the port channel.
NOTE To end output from the system, such as the output from the show interfaces command, enter CTRL+C and Dell EMC Networking OS returns to the command prompt.
NOTE The CLI output may be incorrectly displayed as 0 (zero) for the Rx/Tx power values. To obtain the correct power information, perform a simple network management protocol (SNMP) query.

Examples of the show Commands

The following example shows the configuration and status information for one interface.

DellEMC#

To view which interfaces are enabled for Layer 3 data transmission, use the show ip interfaces brief command in EXEC Privilege mode. In the following example, TenGigabitEthernet interface 1/6 is in Layer 3 mode because an IP address has been assigned to it and the interface’s status is operationally up.

DellEMC#show ip interface brief
Interface               IP-Address  OK? Method  Status                 Protocol
TenGigabitEthernet 1/1  unassigned  NO  Manual  administratively down  down
TenGigabitEthernet 1/2  unassigned  NO  Manual  administratively down  down
TenGigabitEthernet 1/3  unassigned  YES Manual  up                     up
TenGigabitEthernet 1/4  unassigned  YES Manual  up                     up
TenGigabitEthernet 1/5  unassigned  YES Manual  up                     up
TenGigabitEthernet 1/6  10.10.10.1  YES Manual  up                     up
TenGigabitEthernet 1/7  unassigned  NO  Manual  administratively down  down
TenGigabitEthernet 1/8  unassigned  NO  Manual  administratively down  down
TenGigabitEthernet 1/9  unassigned  NO  Manual  administratively down  down

To view only configured interfaces, use the show interfaces configured command in the 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 system.
