Table 6.9: 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 sub-net, 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 or Web Management

 

 

interface, 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”.
