Interface TypesThe following table describes different interface types.Table 40. Different Types of InterfacesInterface Type Modes Possible Default Mode Requires Creation Default StatePhysical L2, L3 Unset No Shutdown (disabled)Management N/A N/A No No Shutdown (enabled)Loopback L3 L3 Yes No Shutdown (enabled)Null N/A N/A No EnabledPort Channel L2, L3 L3 Yes Shutdown (disabled)VLAN L2, L3 L2 Yes (except default) L2 - Shutdown(disabled)L3 - No Shutdown(enabled)View Basic Interface InformationTo view basic interface information, use the following command.You have several options for viewing interface status and configuration parameters.• Lists all configurable interfaces on the chassis.EXEC modeshow interfacesThis command has options to display the interface status, IP and MAC addresses, and multiple counters for the amount and typeof traffic passing through the interface.If you configured a port channel interface, this command lists the interfaces configured in the port channel.NOTE: To end output from the system, such as the output from the show interfaces command, enter CTRL+Cand Dell 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 correctpower information, perform a simple network management protocol (SNMP) query.Examples of the show CommandsThe following example shows the configuration and status information for one interface.Dell#show interfaces tengigabitethernet 1/1TenGigabitEthernet 1/1 is up, line protocol is upHardware is Force10Eth, address is 00:01:e8:05:f3:6aCurrent address is 00:01:e8:05:f3:6aPluggable media present, XFP type is 10GBASE-LR.Medium is MultiRate, Wavelength is 1310nmXFP receive power reading is -3.7685Interface index is 67436603Internet address is 65.113.24.238/28MTU 1554 bytes, IP MTU 1500 bytesLineSpeed 10000 Mbit, Mode full duplex, MasterARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00Last clearing of "show interface" counters 00:09:54Queueing strategy: fifoInterfaces 367
