Note: After the counters are cleared, the line-rate continues to increase until it reaches the 
maximum line rate. When the maximum line rate is reached, there will be no change in the 
line-rate.
Table 14-5.  Lines in show interfaces Command Example
Line Description
TenGigabitEthernet 2/0... Displays the interface’s type, slot/port, and administrative and line protocol 
status. 
Hardware is... Displays the interface’s hardware information and its assigned MAC address.
Interface index... Displays the interface index number used by SNMP to identify the interface.
Internet address... States whether an IP address is assigned to the interface. If one is, that address 
is displayed.
MTU 1554... Displays link and IP MTU information.
If the chassis is in Jumbo mode, this number can range from 576 to 9252. 
LineSpeed Displays the interface’s line speed.
ARP type:... Displays the ARP type and the ARP timeout value for the interface.
Last clearing...
Displays the time when the 
show interfaces counters where cleared.
Queuing strategy... States the packet queuing strategy. FIFO means first in first out.
