Interface Status

Current status of the Ethernet (eth1) or DSL (dsl1) interface can be accessed

using the show interface CLI command.

Information provided about each interface includes the direction of the link, the

MAC address, Proxy ARP setting, the numbered interfaces, their IP addresses and

subnet masks.

See show interface {eth1 | dsl1} on page A-27 in Appendix A,

Command Line Interface, for information about the command and what is

displayed when the command is entered.

NOTE:

The Primary designation of a numbered interface (e.g., eth1:1) marks that

interface as the one that uses its IP address as a Router ID. If no interface is

defined as Primary, the last numbered interface that was created becomes the

Primary IP Address.

Performance Statistics

Performance statistics are available for the DSL and Ethernet interfaces, for IP

processing, and for the bridge using the show statistics CLI command.

These statistics are above and beyond what is collected and reported at the

DSLAM.

on page A-30 in Appendix A, Command Line Interface, for information about the

command and what is displayed when the command is entered.

Clearing Statistics

The CLI allows you to clear a set of statistics, resetting the counts to zero. Refer to

Clearing Statistics Command in Appendix A, Command Line Interface, for

additional information.
