Usage Guidelines

In the scenario where you need to monitor the status of an interface or locate an interface fault, you can use the display interface virtual-ethernet command to collect the statistics on the interface including the status. Through the displayed information, you can collect the traffic statistics and troubleshoot the interface.

Example

# Display the status and traffic statistics of VE 0/0/1.

**Table 1** Description of the **display interface virtual-Ethernet** command output
Item	Description
Virtual-Ethernet0/0/1 current state	Physical status of the VE interface: UP: indicates that the interface is Up. DOWN: indicates that the interface is Down. Administratively DOWN: indicates that the administrator uses the shutdown command on the interface.
Line protocol current state	Indicates the link layer protocol status of the interface: UP: indicates that the link layer protocol on the interface is Up. DOWN: indicates that the link layer protocol on the interface is Down or no IP address is assigned to the interface.
Description	Description of an interface. The information allows users to know about functions of the interface and is used to identify the current interface. You can run the description command to configure or modify the description of an interface.
Route Port	Layer 3 interface. If this parameter specifies a Layer 2 interface, the value of this parameter will be displayed as "Switch Port". You can run the portswitch command to change the mode of an interface from Layer 3 to Layer 2.
The Maximum Transmit Unit is	MTU of the interface.
Internet protocol processing : disabled	No IP address is configured for the interface. If an IP address is configured for the interface, the interface's IP address and subnet mask are displayed.
IP Sending Frames' Format is	Format of frames sent by the IP protocol, including PKTFMT_ETHNT_2, Ethernet_802.3, and Ethernet_SNAP.
Hardware address is	MAC address of the interface.
Current system time	Current system time. If the system is configured with a time zone and is in the summer daylight saving time, the time is displayed in the format of YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS UTC±HH:MM DST.
Last 300 seconds input rate	Incoming packet rate (bits per second and packets per second) within the last 300 seconds.
Last 300 seconds output rate	Outgoing packet rate (bits per second and packets per second) within the last 300 seconds.
Input	Total number of received packets.
Output	Total number of sent packets.
Unicast	Number of unicast packets that are received or sent by the interface.
Broadcast	Number of broadcast packets that are received or sent by the interface.
Input bandwidth utilization	Inbound bandwidth usage.
Output bandwidth utilization	Outbound bandwidth usage.
