Technical data

SHOW INTERFACE
SHOW INTERFACE
Displays information from the running system for Internet interfaces and
pseudointerfaces.
The flags that can appear in the display include:
• AMCST—The interface will receive multicast packets.
• BRDCAST—Indicates the interface supports broadcast messages.
• LOOP—The interface is a loopback mode. Packets transmitted on this
interface will be looped back in the driver and not be transmitted out on
the network.
• MCAST—The interface supports multicast packets. However, this does not
mean that a multicast address is configured for the interface.
• NOARP—The interface is not using address resolution protocol (ARP). It will
neither transmit nor respond to ARP requests.
• PFCPY—All packets transmitted on this interface are copied and passed to
the packet filter program.
• PTP— The interface is point-to-point link. This is a read-only flag that is set
by the driver.
• RUN—Indicates the interface is operational. The driver has allocated
resources for the interface and is ready to transmit and receive packets.
This option is not applicable to loopback devices, for example, LO0.
• SMPX—The interface cannot hear its own transmissions.
• UP—Indicates the interface is enabled for use.
• VMTU—The interface supports variable maximum transmission unit (MTU)
sizes.
