Check Physical Interfaces on a Router

Purpose

When you check the physical interfaces on a router, you gather information to quickly diagnose problems.

To check the physical interfaces on a router, follow these steps:

  1. Display Summary Interface Information
  2. Display Detailed Interface Information

Display Summary Interface Information

Purpose

By displaying a summary of the interfaces on a router, you begin the process of isolating problems when they occur.

Action

To display a summary of all interfaces on a router or a specific group of interfaces, use one of the following Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) operational mode commands:

user@host> show interfaces terse user@host> show interfaces terse interface-name

Sample Output

The following sample output shows all interfaces on a router:

user@host> show interfaces terse

Meaning

The sample output shows summary information about the interfaces on the router listed in order of type of interface. The information includes the name of the interface, whether it is turned on (up) or off (down), whether the state of the link is up or down, the protocol configured on the interface, the local address of the interface, and the address of the remote side of the connection if the interface is a point-to-point interface.


Display Detailed Interface Information

Purpose

Detailed interface information is useful when you need to further investigate the status of an interface after you have determined that there might be a problem.

Action

To display detailed information about the status of an interface, use the following Junos OS CLI operational mode command:

user@host> show interfaces interface-name extensive

The sample output is for an ATM interface. The fields vary depending on the type of interface.
