# Monitoring the Policy Configuration of IPv6 Interfaces

#### Purpose

Display detailed or summary information, including policy and classifier information, for a particular IPv6 interface or for all interfaces. The default for the show ipv6 interface command is all interface types and all interfaces. The brief or detail keywords with the show ipv6 interface command displays different levels of information.

#### Action

To display information about IPv6 policy lists:

#### Meaning

Table 34 lists the show ipv6 interface command output fields.

Table 34: show ipv6 interface Output Fields

Link local address | Local IPv6 address of this interface
Internet address | External address of this interface
Operational MTU | Value of the MTU
Administrative MTU | Value of the MTU if it has been administratively overridden using the configuration
Operational speed | Speed of the interface
Administrative speed | Value of the speed if it has been administratively overridden using the configuration
Creation type | Method by which the interface was created (static or dynamic)
ND reachable time | Amount of time (in milliseconds) that the neighbor is expected to remain reachable
ND duplicate address detection attempts | Number of times that the router attempts to determine a duplicate address
ND neighbor solicitation retransmission interval | Amount of time (in milliseconds) during which the router retransmits neighbor solicitations

In Total Dropped Packets, Bytes | Total number of inbound packets and bytes dropped on this interface
In Policed Packets | Number of packets that were received and dropped because of rate limits
In Invalid Source Address Packets | Number of packets received with invalid source address (for example, spoofed packets)
In Error Packets | Number of packets received with errors
In Discarded Packets | Number of packets received that were discarded for reasons other than rate limits, errors, and invalid source address
Out Forwarded Packets, Bytes | Total number of packets and bytes that were sent from this interface
Unicast Packets, Bytes | Number of unicast packets and bytes that were sent from this interface
Multicast Routed Packets, Bytes | Number of multicast packets and bytes that were sent from this interface
Out Total Dropped Packets | Total number of outbound packets and bytes dropped by this interface
Out Scheduler Dropped Packets, Bytes | Number of outbound packets and bytes dropped by the scheduler
Out Policed Packets, Bytes | Number of outbound packets and bytes dropped because of rate limits
Out Discarded Packets | Number of outbound packets that were discarded for reasons other than those dropped by the scheduler and those dropped because of rate limits
IPv6 policy | Type (input, output, local-input) and name of the policy
rate-limit-profile | Name of the profile
classifier-group entry | Entry index
Committed | Number of packets and bytes that conform to the committed access rate
Conformed | Number of packets and bytes that exceed the committed access rate but conform to the peak access rate
Exceeded | Number of packets and bytes that exceed the peak access rate
queue, traffic class, bound to ipv6 | Queue and traffic class bound to the specified IPv6 interface
Queue length | Number of bytes in the queue
Dropped committed packets, bytes | Total number of committed packets and bytes dropped by this interface
Dropped conformed packets, bytes | Total number of conformed packets and bytes dropped by this interface
Dropped exceeded packets, bytes | Total number of exceeded packets and bytes dropped by this interface
