Field Description
Port-channel is 
part...
Indicates whether the LAG is part of a LAG fate-sharing 
group (“Failover-group”).
Internet address... States whether an IP address is assigned to the interface. If 
an IP address is assigned, that address is displayed.
MTU 1554... Displays link and IP MTU.
LineSpeed Displays the interface’s line speed. For a port channel 
interface, it is the line speed of the interfaces in the port 
channel.
Members in this... Displays the interfaces belonging to this port channel.
ARP type:... Displays the ARP type and the ARP timeout value for the 
interface.
Last clearing... Displays the time when the show interfaces counters 
were cleared.
Queueing 
strategy.
States the packet queuing strategy. FIFO means first in first 
out.
packets input... Displays the number of packets and bytes into the interface.
Input 0 IP 
packets...
Displays the number of packets with IP headers, VLAN 
tagged headers, and MPLS headers. The number of packets 
may not add correctly because a VLAN tagged IP packet 
counts as both a VLAN packet and an IP packet.
0 64-byte... Displays the size of packets and the number of those 
packets entering that interface. This information is displayed 
over two lines.
Received 0... Displays the type and number of errors or other specific 
packets received. This information is displayed over three 
lines.
Output 0... Displays the type and number of packets sent out the 
interface. This information is displayed over three lines.
Rate information... Displays the traffic rate information into and out of the 
interface. Traffic rate is displayed in bits and packets per 
second.
Time since... Displays the time since the last change in the configuration 
of this interface.
