Concept Guide

View Basic Interface Information
To view basic interface information, use the following command.
You have several options for viewing interface status and conguration parameters.
• Lists all congurable 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
trac passing through the interface.
If you congured a port channel interface, this command lists the interfaces congured 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 conguration and status information for one interface.
DellEMC#show interfaces gigabitethernet 1/1
GigabitEthernet 1/1 is up, line protocol is up

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.
