Port Status and Configuration

Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters

Note on Using Pattern Matching with the “Show InterfacesCustom” Command

If you have included a pattern matching command to search for a field in the output of the show int custom command and the show int custom command produces an error, the error message may not be visible and the output is empty. For example, if you enter a command that produces an error (vlan is misspelled) with the pattern matching include option:

ProCurve(config)# show int custom 1-3 name vlun

include vlan1

the output may be empty. It is advisable to try the show int custom command first to ensure there is output, and then enter the command again with the pattern matching option.

Viewing Port Utilization Statistics

Use the show interface port-utilizationcommand to view a real-time rate display for all ports on the switch. The following shows a sample output from this command.

ProCurve(config)# show interfaces port-utilization
