Working with interfaces
You can perform configuration tasks such as displaying interface status and
settings, setting the media type, and setting the duplex mode using the
bigpipe command.
When using bigpipe, and a command calls for a list of interfaces, the list
may consist of one or more interfaces, with multiple interfaces separated by
spaces. For example:
1.1 1.2 2.1 2.2
Displaying status and settings for interfaces
From the command line interface, use the following syntax to display the
current status and the settings for all installed interfaces:
b interface show
Figure 4.1 shows an example of the output you see when you issue this
command on an active/standby unit in active mode.
Use the following syntax to display the current status and the setting for a
specific interface:
b interface <if_name> show
Media type and duplex mode
Properties that you can configure on the interfaces include media type and
duplex mode, as shown in Table 4.5.
