Interface Type Physical Management Loopback Null Port Channel VLAN Modes Possible L2, L3 N/A L3 N/A L2, L3 L2, L3 Default Mode Unset N/A L3 N/A L3 L2 Requires Creation No No Yes No Yes Yes (except default) Default State Shutdown (disabled) No Shutdown (enabled) No Shutdown (enabled) Enabled Shutdown (disabled) L2 - No Shutdown (enabled) L3 - Shutdown (disabled) View Basic Interface Information You have several options for viewing interface status and configuration parameters. The show interfaces command in EXEC mode lists all configurable interfaces on the chassis and 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 a port channel interface is configured, the show interfaces command can list 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 FTOS returns to the command prompt. Note: The command line interface (CLI) output may be incorrectly displayed as 0 (zero) for the Rx/Tx power values. Perform an simple network management protocol (SNMP) query to obtain the correct power information. Figure 13-1 shows the configuration and status information for one interface. 220 | Interfaces
