show ip interface

This command displays all pertinent information about the IP interface. The argument unit/slot/port corresponds to a physical routing interface or VLAN routing interface. The keyword vlan is used to specify the VLAN ID of the routing VLAN directly instead of in a unit/slot/port format.

Format show ip interface {unit/slot/port|vlan 1-4093|loopback 0-7}
Modes
  • Privileged EXEC
  • User EXEC
Term
Definition
Routing Interface Status

Determine the operational status of IPv4 routing Interface. The possible values are Up or Down.

Primary IP Address

The primary IP address and subnet masks for the interface. This value appears only if you configure it.

Method

Shows whether the IP address was configured manually or acquired from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.

Secondary IP Address

One or more secondary IP addresses and subnet masks for the interface. This value appears only if you configure it.

Helper IP Address

The helper IP addresses configured by the command ip helper-address (Interface Config).

Routing Mode

The administrative mode of router interface participation. The possible values are enable or disable. This value is configurable.

Administrative Mode

The administrative mode of the specified interface. The possible values of this field are enable or disable. This value is configurable.

Forward Net Directed Broadcasts

Displays whether forwarding of network-directed broadcasts is enabled or disabled. This value is configurable.

Proxy ARP

Displays whether Proxy ARP is enabled or disabled on the system.

Local Proxy ARP

Displays whether Local Proxy ARP is enabled or disabled on the interface.

Active State

Displays whether the interface is active or inactive. An interface is considered active if its link is up and it is in forwarding state.

Link Speed Data Rate

An integer representing the physical link data rate of the specified interface. This is measured in Megabits per second (Mbps).

MAC Address

The burned in physical address of the specified interface. The format is 6 two-digit hexadecimal numbers that are separated by colons.

Encapsulation Type

The encapsulation type for the specified interface. The types are: Ethernet or SNAP.

IP MTU

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of a frame, in bytes.

Bandwidth

Shows the bandwidth of the interface.

Destination Unreachables

Displays whether ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Destination Unreachables may be sent (enabled or disabled).

ICMP Redirects

Displays whether ICMP Redirects may be sent (enabled or disabled).

DHCP Client Identifier

The client identifier is displayed in the output of the command only if DHCP is enabled with the client-id option on the in-band interface. See ip address dhcp.

The following example shows CLI display output for the command.

(Extreme 220) #show ip interface 1/0/2
