Show Interface Examples

Use the show interface command to display information about one or more VLAN or loopback interfaces configured on the router.

The following is an example S- and K-Series output:

System(rw-config)->show interface vlan.0.1
vlan.0.1 is Administratively up, Operationally up
   IP Address 10.21.130.59 Mask 255.255.128.0
   MAC-Address is: 0011.880c.9f78
   The name of this device is vlan.0.1
   MTU is 1500 bytes
   The bandwidth is 10000 Mb/s
   Encapsulation ARPA, Loopback not set
   ARP type: ARPA,   ARP Timeout: 3600 seconds
   Policy Routing disabled

The following is an example 7100-Series output:

System(rw-config)->show interface vlan.0.1
vlan.0.1 is Operationally down, Administratively down
   MAC-Address is: 00-11-88-fe-79-68
   The name of this device is vlan.0.1
   ARP/ND cache limit is 12288
   MTU is 1500 bytes
   Encapsulation ARPA, Loopback not set
   IP Policy Routing not implemented

Use the show ip interface command to display information for interfaces configured for IP.

The following is an example S- and K-Series output:

System(rw-config)->show ip interface vlan.0.1
vlan.0.1 is Operationally up, Administratively up
   IP Address 10.21.130.59 Mask 255.255.128.0

This example shows how to display IPv6 configuration information for VLAN 51 (ICMP stats are S- and K-Series):

System(rw)->show ipv6 interface vlan.0.51
 vlan.0.51 is Operationally down, Administratively down
  IPv6 is enabled link-local address is fe80::21f:45ff:fe5b:f5cf%vlan.0.51
  Global unicast address(es):
    2001:11ac:fd34:50::abcd:33, subnet is 2001:11ac:fd34:50::/64
  Joined group address(es):
    (None)
  IPV6 forwarding disabled
  IPV6 address auto-configuration is enabled
  MTU is 1500 bytes
  ICMP error messages limited to one every 100 milliseconds
  Sending of ICMP Destination Unreachable Messages is enabled
  Sending of ICMP Redirect Messages is enabled
  Sending of ICMP Echo-Reply Messages is enabled
  ND DAD is enabled, number of DAD attempts: 1

Configuring the Routing Interface

Ste[ Task Command(s)
1 Enter router interface configuration command mode for the specified interface, from either global configuration or router configuration command mode. interface {vlan vlan-id | loopback loopback-id | interface-name}
2 Set the primary, and optionally the secondary or management, IPv4 address for this interface, in interface configuration command mode. ip address {ip-address | ip-address/prefixLength} ip-mask [primary | secondary | management]
3 Optionally, configure an IPv6 general prefix in global configuration mode to be assigned to an IPv6 address. ipv6 general-prefix name prefix/length
4 Set the IPv6 address for this interface in interface configuration command mode. ipv6 address {link-local-address link-local | ipv6-address/length | ipv6-prefix/length eui-64 | autoconfig | general-prefix sub-bits/length}
5 Optionally disable IPv4 forwarding on this interface. no ip forwarding
6 Optionally, set the Equal Cost Multipath (ECM) forwarding algorithm for forwarding IP packets on routing interfaces, from global configuration command mode (S-, K-Series). ip ecm-forwarding-algo [hash-thold | round-robin]
7 Optionally, configure a secondary VLAN on the VLAN interface. secondary-vlan vlan-id
8 Enable this interface along with any changes made, in interface configuration command mode. no shutdown
