Port channels are only displayed if configured. Use the show interfaces port-
channel command to display configured and unconfigured port channels.
Interfaces configured as stacking ports will show as detached in the output of
the show interfaces status command.
The link state indicates the physical connectivity state of the link. It is
possible that the link is connected physically yet frames are not able to pass
over the link. Possible causes of this condition are speed or duplex mismatch.
The displayed port status information includes the following:
Field Description
Port The port or port channel number. Oob means Out-of-Band
Management Interface.
Description Description of the port. This field may be truncated in the command
output.
Duplex Displays the port Duplex status.
VLAN The VLAN membership for the port is enclosed in parentheses. The
currently active PVID and Voice VLAN ID, if any, are also shown. In
some cases, the PVID assigned may not be the configured PVID, for
example, when RADIUS assigns a PVID to the interface.
Speed Refers to the port speed.
Neg Describes the Auto-negotiation status.
Link State Displays the Link status, either Up or Down.
