Displaying IP information
7
To display detailed IP information for a specific interface, enter a command such as the following.
Displaying interface name in Syslog
By default an interface’s slot number (if applicable) and port number are displayed when you
display Syslog messages. You can display the name of the interface instead of its number by
entering a command such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# ip show-portname
This command is applied globally to all interfaces on the device.
Syntax: [no] ip show-portname
When you display the messages in the Syslog, you see the interface name under the Dynamic Log
Buffer section. The actual interface number is appended to the interface name. For example, if the
interface name is "lab" and its port number is "2", you see "lab2" displayed as in the example below.
TABLE 55 CLI display of interface IP configuration information
This field... Displays...
Interface The type and the slot and port number of the interface.
IP-Address The IP address of the interface.
NOTE: If an “s” is listed following the address, this is a secondary address.
When the address was configured, the interface already had an IP
address in the same subnet, so the software required the
“secondary” option before the software could add the interface.
OK? Whether the IP address has been configured on the interface.
Method Whether the IP address has been saved in NVRAM. If you have set the IP
address for the interface in the CLI, but have not saved the configuration,
the entry for the interface in the Method field is “manual”.
Status The link status of the interface. If you have disabled the interface with the
disable command, the entry in the Status field will be “administratively
down”. Otherwise, the entry in the Status field will be either “up” or “down”.
Protocol Whether the interface can provide two-way communication. If the IP address
is configured, and the link status of the interface is up, the entry in the
protocol field will be “up”. Otherwise the entry in the protocol field will be
“down”.
