NOTE
Brocade Virtual ADX supports a maximum of nine interfaces. Adding more than nine interfaces will
generate a random order of interfaces on the VM and interfere with normal processing on Brocade
Virtual ADX.

4. Power on and access the Brocade Virtual ADX to confirm that the interfaces are now added or

removed.

Displaying interface information

Use the following steps and commands to display interface information.

1. Logon to your Brocade Virtual ADX.
2. To display information about the interfaces available on a device use the following command.

Virtual ADX# show interface brief

Port Link State Dupl Speed Trunk Tag Priori MAC Name

1 Up Forward Full 10G None No level0 000c.2973.098c

2 Up Forward Full 10G None No level0 000c.2973.0996

3 Up Forward Full 10G None No level0 000c.2973.09a0

4 Up Forward Full 10G None No level0 000c.2973.09aa

5 Up Forward Full 10G None No level0 000c.2973.09b4

6 Up Forward Full 10G None No level0 000c.2973.09be

7 Up Forward Full 10G None No level0 000c.2973.09c8

8 Up Forward Full 10G None No level0 000c.2973.09d2

mgmt1 Up Forward Full 10G None No level0 000c.2973.0982

To display information about a specific interface, enter a command such as the following:

Virtual ADX# show interface 6

TCP checksum offload

TCP checksum offload improves performance by offloading hardware checksum calculation to the
network adapter.

This functionality is disabled by default as not all network adapters support the checksum calculation.
Once you have determined that your network adapter supports the checksum calculation, you can
enable the functionality on the Brocade Virtual ADX to further optimize performance.
