Viewing Physical Interfaces for Devices

Junos Space displays physical interfaces by device name, based on the device information Junos Space has in its database. You can view the operational status and admin status of physical interfaces for one or more devices to troubleshoot problems.

Sorting is disabled for the physical interfaces view to preserve the natural slot order of the devices.

If the interface status changes on the managed device, the data is not updated in Junos Space until the device is resynchronized with the Junos Space database.

To view the physical interfaces for devices:

  1. From the task ribbon, select the Devices workspace.
  2. From the task ribbon, select the Manage Devices icon.
  3. In the Manage Device inventory view, select the device for which you want to view the physical interfaces.
  4. In the Actions drawer, click View Interfaces.

    Junos Space displays the status of the physical interfaces for a device.
