Viewing interface configuration

Viewable interface configurations

You can view the current configuration of a specific interface or all interfaces that exist on a filer.

Viewing the configuration of a specific interface

To view the configuration of a specific interface, complete the following step.

Step	Action
1	Enter the following command: ifconfig interface interface is the name of the specific network interface you want to view configuration information about.

Viewing the configuration of all interfaces

To view the configuration of all interfaces, complete the following step.

Step	Action
1	Enter the following command: ifconfig -a The current configuration of all network interfaces on the filer is displayed.

Example

The following example displays the configuration of all network interfaces on the filer toaster:

toaster> ifconfig -a

e8: flags=48043<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 9000

    inet 172.28.50.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.28.50.255

    ether 00:d0:b7:60:04:a3 (auto-1000sx-fd-down) flowcontrol full

e1: flags=8042<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

    ether 00:c0:95:f9:d2:6c (tp-down)

e0: flags=848043<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

    inet 172.28.50.21 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.28.50.255

    ether 00:a0:98:00:3d:28 (100tx-fd-up)

lo: flags=948049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,TCPCKSUM> mtu 9188

    inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 127.0.0.1

In this example, the e8 interface is a Gigabit Ethernet interface with MTU size of 9000 (mtu 9000). The interface is configured to be Up (<UP,BROADCAST,
RUNNING,MULTICAST>). However, the current status of the interface is Down (auto-1000sx-fd-down).
