Administrator Guide

Usage
Information
The Management port is enabled by default (no shutdown). If necessary, use the ip address
command to assign an IP address to the Management port. If two RPMs are installed in your system, use
the show redundancy command to display which RPM is the Primary RPM.
You can configure two global IPv6 addresses. To view the addresses, use the show interface
managementethernet command. If you try to configure a third IPv6 address, a message displays. If
auto-configuration is enabled, all IPv6 addresses on that management interface are auto-configured. The
first IPv6 address that is configured on the management interface is the primary address. If deleted, it
must be re-added; the secondary address is not promoted.
To view information on a specific PE stack-unit, use the show interface pe pe-id stack unit
unit-number command. You can use the show interfaces peGigE command to view the information
on all the components of the PE Gigabit Ethernet interface. You can use the show interfaces
peTenGigE command to view the information on all the components of the PE 10–Gigabit Ethernet
interface.
To view the show output for multiple ports of a specified slot at a time, you can specify any random port
number or a range of ports, or a combination of both.
To specify a port range, you can enter a hyphenated range of one or more port range values separated
with commas; for example, show interfaces FortyGigE 1/0-4,7,9-11. To enter any random
number of ports, you can enter a comma-separated string of port numbers, for example show
interfaces FortyGigE 1/0/1,9,11
NOTE: The port-range option is only available for 1 Gigabit Ethernet, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 40-Gigabit
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FC, Port Channel, and VLAN interfaces.
