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.

Virtual ADX(config)# ip show-portname

This command is applied globally to all interfaces on a Virtual ADX.

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.

Displaying ARP entries

You can display the ARP cache and the static ARP table. The ARP cache contains entries for devices
attached to the Virtual ADX. The static ARP table contains the user-configured ARP entries. An entry
in the static ARP table enters the ARP cache when the entry’s interface comes up.

The tables require separate display commands or Web management options.

TABLE 8

Web display of IP interface information

This field...

Displays...

Port #

The physical port number or virtual interface (VE) number. VEs are shown as “v
num
”, where num is the number you assigned to the VE when you configured
it. For example, VE 1 is shown as “v1”.
If a range of ports is listed in this field, the interface is a trunk group. If two
ranges of ports are listed, the interface is a trunk group that spans multiple
chassis modules.

Encapsulation

The frame type used to encapsulate packets on this interface. The frame type
is always Ethernet II.

MTU

The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), which specifies the maximum packet
size for packets sent and received on this interface.

Metric

The cost associated with this interface.

Directed Broadcast Forward

The state of the directed broadcast forwarding feature. The state can be one of
the following:

Disable

Enable

To change the state of this feature, refer to

“Enabling forwarding of directed

broadcasts”

on page 65.
