Showing Information
You can use the show commands to view current settings or the status of
the BCM2 device or part of it, such as the IP address, networking mode,
firmware version, states or readings of internal or external sensors, user
profiles, and so on.
Some "show" commands have two formats: one with the parameter
"details" and the other without. The difference is that the command
without the parameter "details" displays a shortened version of
information while the other displays in-depth information.
After typing a "show" command, press Enter to execute it.
Note: Depending on your login name, the # prompt may be replaced by
the > prompt. See
Different CLI Modes and Prompts
(on page 359).
Network Configuration
This command shows all network configuration and all network
interfaces' information, such as the IP address, MAC address, the
Ethernet interface's duplex mode, and the wireless interface's
status/settings.
