Viewing Configuration Information
You can view a variety of configuration details and statistics with the show option. The show option provides a
convenient way to check configuration changes before saving them to flash.
The show options available will vary for Layer 2 Switches and Layer 3 Switches and by configuration level.
To determine the available show commands for the system or a specific level of the CLI, enter the following
command:
FESX424 Router# show ?
Syntax: show <option>
You also can enter “show” at the command prompt, then press the TAB key.
NOTE: For a complete summary of all available show... CLI commands and their displays, see the Foundry
Switch and Router Command Line Interface Reference.
Viewing Port Statistics
Port statistics are polled by default every 10 seconds.
You can view statistics for ports by entering the following show commands:
• show interfaces
