To view only configured interfaces, use the show interfaces configured command in the EXEC
Privilege mode. In the previous example, GigabitEthernet interface 1/5 is in Layer 3 mode because an IP
address has been assigned to it and the interface’s status is operationally up.
To determine which physical interfaces are available, use the show running-config command in EXEC
mode. This command displays all physical interfaces available on the line cards.

• For the Management interface on the RPM, enter the keyword ManagementEthernet then the
slot/port information.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port
information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port
information.
