show interfaces

To display statistics for all interfaces configured on the router or access server, use the show interfaces command in privileged EXEC mode. The resulting output varies, depending on the network for which an interface has been configured.

Cisco 2500 Series, Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 4700 Series, and Cisco 7000 Series

show interfaces [type number] [first] [last] [accounting]

Cisco 7200 Series and Cisco 7500 Series with a Packet over SONET Interface Processor

show interfaces [type slot/port] [accounting]

Cisco 7500 Series with Ports on VIPs

show interfaces [type slot/port-adapter/port]

Syntax Description

type	(Optional) Interface type. Allowed values for type include async, bri0, dialer, ethernet, fastethernet, fddi, hssi, loopback, null, serial, tokenring, and tunnel. For the Cisco 4500 series routers, type can be atm, e1, ethernet, fastethernet, fddi, serial, t1, and token.. For the Cisco 7000 family, type can be atm, e1, ethernet, fastethernet, fddi, serial, t1, and tokenring. For the Cisco 7500 series type can also include pos.
number	(Optional) Port number on the selected interface.
first last	(Optional) For the Cisco 2500 series routers, ISDN BRI only. The first argument can be either 1 or 2. The last argument can only be 2, indicating B channels 1 and 2. D-channel information is obtained by using the command without the optional arguments.
accounting	(Optional) Displays the number of packets of each protocol type that have been sent through the interface.
slot	(Optional) Slot number. Refer to the appropriate hardware manual for slot information.
/port	(Optional) Port number. Refer to the appropriate hardware manual for port information.
/port-adapter	(Optional) Port adapter number. Refer to the appropriate hardware manual for information about port adapter compatibility.

Command History

Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.0(3)T	This command was modified to include support for flow-based WRED.
12.0(4)T	This command was modified to include enhanced display information for dialer bound interfaces.
12.0(7)T	This command was modified to include dialer as an interface type and to reflect the default behavior.

Usage Guidelines

Display Interpretation

The show interfaces command displays statistics for the network interfaces. The resulting display on the Cisco 7200 series routers shows the interface processors in slot order. If you add interface processors after booting the system, they will appear at the end of the list, in the order in which they were inserted.

Information About Specific Interfaces

If you use the show interfaces command on the Cisco 7200 series routers without the slot/port arguments, information for all interface types will be shown. For example, if you type show interfaces ethernet you will receive information for all ethernet, serial, Token Ring, and FDDI interfaces. Only by adding the type slot/port argument can you specify a particular interface.

Removed Interfaces

If you enter a show interfaces command for an interface type that has been removed from the router or access server, interface statistics will be displayed accompanied by the following text: "Hardware has been removed."

Weighted Fair Queueing Information

If you use the show interfaces command on a router or access server for which interfaces are configured to use weighted fair queueing through the fair-queue interface command, additional information is displayed. This information consists of the current and high-water mark number of flows.

Accounting Information

The optional keyword accounting displays the number of packets of each protocol type that have been sent through the interface.

Dialer Interfaces Configured for Binding

If you use the show interfaces command on dialer interfaces configured for binding, the display will report statistics on each physical interface bound to the dialer interface; see the following examples for more information.

Command Variations

You will use the show interfaces command frequently while configuring and monitoring devices. The various forms of the show interfaces commands are described in detail in the sections that follow.

Examples

The following is sample output from the show interfaces command. Because your display will depend on the type and number of interface cards in your router or access server, only a portion of the display is shown.

---

Note If an asterisk (*) appears after the throttles counter value, it means that the interface was throttled at the time the command was run.

Example with Custom Output Queueing

The following shows partial sample output when custom output queueing is enabled:

Router# show interfaces

Last clearing of "show interface" counters 0:00:06

Input queue: 0/75/0 (size/max/drops); Total output drops: 21

Output queues: (queue #: size/max/drops)

     0: 14/20/14  1: 0/20/6  2: 0/20/0 3: 0/20/0 4: 0/20/0 5: 0/20/0 

     6: 0/20/0 7: 0/20/0  8: 0/20/0  9: 0/20/0  10: 0/20/0  

.

.

.

When custom queueing is enabled, the drops accounted for in the output queues result from bandwidth limitation for the associated traffic and leads to queue length overflow. Total output drops include drops on all custom queues as well as the system queue. Fields are described with the Weighted Fair Queueing output in Table 39.

Example Including Weighted-Fair-Queueing Output

For each interface on the router or access server configured to use weighted fair queueing, the show interfaces command displays the information beginning with Input queue: in the following display:

Table 39 describes the input queue and output queue fields shown in the preceding two displays.

Table 39 Weighted-Fair-Queueing Output Field Descriptions 

Field	Description
Input queue:
•size	Current size of the input queue.
•max	Maximum size of the queue.
•drops	Number of messages discarded in this interval.
•Total output drops	Total number of messages discarded in this session.
Output queue:
•size	Current size of the output queue.
•threshold	Congestive-discard threshold. Number of messages in the queue after which new messages for high-bandwidth conversations are dropped.
•drops	Number of dropped messages.
•Conversations: active	Number of currently active conversations.
•Conversations: max active	Maximum number of concurrent conversations allowed.

Example with Accounting Option

To display the number of packets of each protocol type that have been sent through all configured interfaces, use the show interfaces accounting EXEC command. When you use the accounting option, only the accounting statistics are displayed.

---

Note Except for protocols that are encapsulated inside other protocols, such as IP over X.25, the accounting option also shows the total of all bytes sent and received, including the MAC header. For example, it totals the size of the Ethernet packet or the size of a packet that includes High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) encapsulation.

---

Per-packet accounting information is displayed for protocols. The following is an example of protocols for which accounting information is displayed. This list is not inclusive of all protocols and could vary among platforms.

•Apollo

•AppleTalk

•ARP (for IP, Apollo, Frame Relay, SMDS)

•CLNS

•DEC MOP

The routers use MOP packets to advertise their existence to Digital Equipment Corporation machines that use the MOP protocol. A router periodically broadcasts MOP packets to identify itself as a MOP host. This results in MOP packets being counted, even when DECnet is not being actively used.

•DECnet

•IP

•LAN Manager (LAN Network Manager and IBM Network Manager)

•Novell

•Serial Tunnel (SDLC)

•Spanning Tree

•SR Bridge

•Transparent Bridge

•VINES

•XNS

Example with DNIS Binding

When the show interfaces command is issued on an unbound dialer interface, the output looks as follows:

Router# show interfaces dialer0 

Dialer0 is up (spoofing), line protocol is up (spoofing)

  Hardware is Unknown

  Internet address is 10.1.1.2/8

  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 64 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 3/255

  Encapsulation PPP, loopback not set

But when the show interfaces command is issued on a bound dialer interface, you will get an additional report that indicates the binding relationship. The output is shown here:

Router# show interfaces dialer0 

Dialer0 is up, line protocol is up 

  Hardware is Unknown

  Internet address is 10.1.1.2/8

At the end of the Dialer0 output, the show interfaces command is executed on each physical interface bound to it.

Example with BRI

In this example, the physical interface is the B1 channel of the BRI0 link. This example also illustrates that the output under the B channel keeps all hardware counts that are not displayed under any logical or virtual access interface. The line in the report that states "Interface is bound to Dialer0 (Encapsulation LAPB)" indicates that this B interface is bound to Dialer0 and the encapsulation running over this connection is LAPB, not PPP, which is the encapsulation configured on the D interface and inherited by the B channel.

Table 43 describes the significant fields shown in the display.

Table 43 show interfaces content-engine Field Descriptions 

Field	Description
Content-Engine	Indicates whether the CE interface hardware is currently active. If the CE interface hardware is operational, the output states that "Content-Engine slot/port is up." If it has been taken down by an administrator, the output states that "Content-Engine slot/port is administratively down."
line protocol	Indicates whether the software processes that handle the line protocol consider the line usable or whether the line has been taken down by an administrator.
Hardware...address	Hardware type and address.
MTU	Maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the content engine interface.
BW	Bandwidth of the interface, in kilobits per second.
DLY	Delay of the interface, in microseconds.
reliability	Reliability of the interface as a fraction of 255 (255/255 is 100 percent reliability), calculated as an exponential average over 5 minutes.
txload	Transmit load on the interface as a fraction of 255 (255/255 is completely saturated), calculated as an exponential average over 5 minutes.
rxload	Receive load on the interface as a fraction of 255 (255/255 is completely saturated), calculated as an exponential average over 5 minutes.
Encapsulation	Encapsulation method assigned to the interface.
loopback	Indicates whether loopback is set.
Keepalive	Indicates whether keepalives are set and the interval between keepalives if they have been set.
ARP type...Timeout	Type of Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) assigned and length of timeout.
Last input	Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully received by the interface and processed locally on the router. This field is useful for detecting when a dead interface failed. Note This field is not updated by fast-switched traffic.
output	Number of hours, minutes, and seconds since the last packet was successfully transmitted by the interface. This field is useful for detecting when a dead interface failed.
output hang	Number of hours, minutes, and seconds (or never) since the interface was last reset because a transmission took too long. When the number of hours in any of the "last" fields exceeds 24 hours, the number of days and hours is printed. If that field overflows, asterisks are printed.
Last clearing	Time at which the counters that measure cumulative statistics (such as number of bytes transmitted and received) shown in this report were last reset to zero. Note that variables that might affect routing (for example, load and reliability) are not cleared when the counters are cleared. Asterisks (***) indicate that the elapsed time is too large to be displayed. A time of all zeroes (0:00:00) indicates that the counters were cleared more than 231 ms (and less than 232 ms) ago.
Input queue	Number of packets in the input queue. Each number is followed by a slash, the maximum size of the queue, and the number of packets dropped because of a full queue.
Total output drops	Number of packets in the output queue that have been dropped because of a full queue.
Queueing strategy	Queueing strategy applied to the interface, which is configurable under the interface. The default is FIFO.
Output queue	Number of packets in the output queue. Each number is followed by a slash, the maximum size of the queue, and the number of packets dropped because of a full queue.
5 minute input rate, 5 minute output rate	Average number of bits and packets transmitted per second in the last 5 minutes. If the interface is not in promiscuous mode, it senses network traffic that it sends and receives (rather than all network traffic). The 5-minute input and output rates should be used only as an approximation of traffic per second during a given 5-minute period. These rates are exponentially weighted averages with a time constant of 5 minutes. A period of four time constants must pass before the average will be within 2 percent of the instantaneous rate of a uniform stream of traffic over that period. Note The 5-minute period referenced in this output is a load interval that is configurable under the interface. The default value is 5 minutes.
packets input	Total number of error-free packets received by the system.
bytes	Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, in the error-free packets received by the system.
no buffer	Number of received packets discarded because there was no buffer space in the main system. Compare with ignored count. Broadcast storms on Ethernets and bursts of noise on serial lines are often responsible for no input buffer events.
Received...broadcasts	Number of broadcasts received.
runts	Number of packets that are discarded because they are smaller than the minimum packet size of the medium. For instance, any Ethernet packet that is less than 64 bytes is considered a runt.
giants	Number of packets that are discarded because they exceed the maximum packet size of the medium. For example, any Ethernet packet that is greater than 1518 bytes is considered a giant.
throttles	Number of times that the interface requested another interface within the router to slow down.
input errors	Errors that include runts, giants, no buffer, cyclic redundancy check (CRC), frame, overrun, and ignored counts. Other input-related errors can also cause the input errors count to be increased, and some datagrams may have more than one error; therefore, this sum may not balance with the sum of enumerated input error counts.
CRC	Errors created when the CRC generated by the originating LAN station or far-end device does not match the checksum calculated from the data received. On a LAN, this usually indicates noise or transmission problems on the LAN interface or the LAN bus itself. A high number of CRCs is usually the result of collisions or a station that is transmitting bad data.
frame	Number of packets received incorrectly that have a CRC error and a non integer number of octets. On a LAN, this is usually the result of collisions or a malfunctioning Ethernet device.
overrun	Number of times that the receiver hardware was unable to hand received data to a hardware buffer because the input rate exceeded the receiver's ability to handle the data.
ignored	Number of received packets that were ignored by the interface because the interface hardware ran low on internal buffers. These buffers are different from system buffer space described. Broadcast storms and bursts of noise can cause the ignored count to increase.
input packets with dribble condition detected	Number of packets with dribble condition. Dribble bit error indicates that a frame is slightly too long. This frame error counter is incremented just for informational purposes; the router accepts the frame.
packets output	Total number of messages that have been transmitted by the system.
bytes	Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation, that have been transmitted by the system.
underruns	Number of times that the transmitter has run faster than the router could handle. This may never be reported on some interfaces.
output errors	Sum of all errors that prevented the final transmission of datagrams out of the content engine that is being examined. Note that this may not balance with the sum of the enumerated output errors, because some datagrams may have more than one error, and others may have errors that do not fall into any of the specifically tabulated categories.
collisions	Number of messages that have been retransmitted because of an Ethernet collision. This is usually the result of an overextended LAN (Ethernet or transceiver cable too long, more than two repeaters between stations, or too many cascaded multiport transceivers). A packet that collides is counted only once in output packets.
interface resets	Number of times an interface has been completely reset. This can happen if packets that were queued for transmission were not sent within several seconds. On a serial line, this can be caused by a malfunctioning modem that is not supplying the transmit clock signal or by a cable problem. If the system notices that the carrier detect line of a serial interface is up, but the line protocol is down, it periodically resets the interface in an effort to restart it. Interface resets can also occur when an interface is looped back or shut down.
babbles	Count of frames greater than 1518 bytes that have been transmitted, indicating that the transmitter has been on the interface longer than the time necessary to transmit the largest frame.
late collision	Number of late collisions. A collision becomes a late collision when it occurs after the preamble has been transmitted.
deferred	Deferred indicates that the chip, while ready to transmit a frame, had to defer because the carrier was asserted.
lost carrier	Number of times that the carrier was lost during transmission.
no carrier	Number of times that the carrier was not present during the transmission.
output buffer failures, output buffers swapped out	Number of failed buffers and number of buffers swapped out.
