Description
Field
Displays the state of the Layer 2 line protocol. This
field may be different from the interface state if, for
example, a keepalive failure has brought down the
Layer 2.
The line protocol state is not the same as the
protocol state displayed in the
show ip
interfaces
command, because it is the state
of Layer 2 (media) rather than Layer 3 (IP
protocol).
Note
Line protocol state
Displays the current hardware type.
Hardware
Displays the Layer 2 address (MAC address for
Ethernet interfaces).
Enter the
mac-address
command to
configure the hardware address.
Note
Internet address is
n.n.n.n/n
Displays the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for
the interface. The MTU is the maximum packet size
that can be transmitted over the interface.
The MTU field indicates the interface MTU.
Enter the
mtu
command to configure a lower
MTU value at the layer 3 level.
Note
MTU
Displays the bandwidth of the interface in kbps.
BW
Displays the proportion of packets that are not
dropped and do not have errors.
The reliability is shown as a fraction of
255.
Note
reliability
Indicates the traffic flowing out of the interface as a
proportion of the bandwidth.
The txload is shown as a fraction of
255.
Note
txload
Indicates the traffic flowing into the interface as a
proportion of the bandwidth.
The rxload is shown as a fraction of
255.
Note
rxload
Layer 2 encapsulation installed on the interface.
Encapsulation
Indicates the length of the cyclic redundancy check
(CRC), in bytes.
Enter the
pos crc
command to configure the
CRC.
Note
CRC
