Monitor Interfaces and Switching Functions
This section describes how to monitor interfaces and switching functions.
Display Real-Time Interface Information
Enter the monitor interface command to display real-time
traffic, error, alarm, and filter statistics about a physical or logical
interface:
user@host> monitor interface (interface-name | traffic)
Replace interface-name with
the name of a physical or logical interface. If you specify the traffic option, statistics for all active interfaces display.
The real-time statistics update every second. The Current
delta and Delta columns display the amount the statistics
counters have changed since the monitor interface command
was entered or since you cleared the delta counters. Table 1 and Table 2 list the keys
you use to control the display using the interface-name and traffic options. (The keys are not case sensitive.)

f |
Freezes the display, halting the update of the statistics and delta counters. |
i |
Displays information about a different interface. You are prompted for the name of a specific interface. |
n |
Displays information about the next interface.

the same order in which they are displayed by the |

Quits the command and returns to the command prompt. |
t |
Thaws the display, resuming the update of the statistics and delta counters. |
Key |
Action |
|---|---|
b |
Displays the statistics in units of bytes and bytes per second (bps). |
c |
Clears (returns to 0) the delta counters in
the |
d |

p |
Displays the statistics in units of packets and packets per second (pps). |
q or ESC |

The following are sample displays from the monitor interface command:

The output fields that display when you enter the monitor interface interface-name command
are determined by the interface you specify.

Monitor Interfaces
Purpose
View general information about all physical and logical interfaces for a device.
Action
Enter the following show commands in the
CLI to view interface status and traffic statistics.
show interfaces terseNote:On SRX Series Firewalls, when configuring identical IPs on a single interface, you will not see a warning message; instead, you will see a syslog message.
show interfaces extensiveshow interfacesinterface-name
If you are using the J-Web user interfaces, select Monitor>Interfaces in the J-Web user interface. The J-Web Interfaces page displays the following details about each device interface:
Port—Indicates the interface name.
Admin Status—Indicates whether the interface is enabled (Up) or disabled (Down).
Link Status—Indicates whether the interface is linked (Up) or not linked (Down).
Address—Indicates the IP address of the interface.
Zone—Indicates whether the zone is an untrust zone or a trust zone.
Services—Indicates services that are enabled on the device, such as HTTP and SSH.
Protocols—Indicates protocols that are enabled on the device, such as BGP and IGMP.
Input Rate graph—Displays interface bandwidth utilization. Input rates are shown in bytes per second.
Output Rate graph—Displays interface bandwidth utilization. Output rates are shown in bytes per second.
Error Counters chart—Displays input and output error counters in the form of a bar chart.
Packet Counters chart—Displays the number of broadcast, unicast, and multicast packet counters in the form of a pie chart. (Packet counter charts are supported only for interfaces that support MAC statistics.)
To change the interface display, use the following options:
Port for FPC—Controls the member for which information is displayed.
Start/Stop button—Starts or stops monitoring the selected interfaces.
Show Graph—Displays input and output packet counters and error counters in the form of charts.
Pop-up button—Displays the interface graphs in a separate pop-up window.
Details—Displays extensive statistics about the selected interface, including its general status, traffic information, IP address, I/O errors, class-of-service data, and statistics.
Refresh Interval—Indicates the duration of time after which you want the data on the page to be refreshed.
Clear Statistics—Clears the statistics for the selected interface.

Monitor PPP
Purpose
Display PPP monitoring information, including PPP address pool information, session status for PPP interfaces, cumulative statistics for all PPP interfaces, and a summary of PPP sessions.
PPP monitoring information is available only in the CLI. The J-Web user interface does not include pages for displaying PPP monitoring information.
Action
Enter the following CLI commands:
show ppp address-pool pool-nameshow ppp interface interface-nameshow ppp statisticsshow ppp summary
