Working with interfaces
You can perform configuration tasks such as displaying interface status and
settings and setting the media type using the bigpipe utility.
When using the bigpipe interface command, you can either apply the
command to all interfaces or to a specific interface key (for example, 1.1).
Status and settings for interfaces
From the command line interface, use the following syntax to display the
current status and the setting for a specific interface:
b interface <interface_key> show
Use the following syntax to display the current status and settings for all
installed interfaces:
b interface show
Figure 4.2 shows an example of the output you see when you issue this
command on a 6900/8900 platform.
