This command displays an ongoinglist of the interface status (up/down), number of packets, traffic statistics, and so on.To view the interface’s statistics, use the following command.• View the interface’s statistics.EXEC Privilege modeEnter the type of interface and slot/port information:– For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/portinformation.– For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.– For the Management interface on the stack-unit, enter the keyword ManagementEthernet thenthe slot/port information. The slot range is from 0 to 1. The port range is 0.Example of the monitor interface CommandThe information displays in a continuous run, refreshing every 2 seconds by default. To manage theoutput, use the following keys.• m — Change mode• l — Page up• T — Increase refresh interval (by 1 second)• t — Decrease refresh interval (by 1 second)338 Interfaces
