Information
Use this show interfaces command for details on a specific interface. Use the show interfaces 
linecard
 command for details on all interfaces on the designated line card.
Note that, in an E-Series EtherScale chassis, the 
show interfaces command output does not 
include details about installed SFP or XFP transceivers.
On the S4810, the show interface output displays incorrect rate information details over time 
for link monitoring when the rate-interval is configured for 5 seconds. Dell Force10 
recommends using higher rate-intervals such as 15 to 299 seconds to minimize the errors
