Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces
Verifying Fibre Channel Interfaces
Verifying SFP Transmitter Types
The SPF transmitter type can be displayed for a physical Fibre Channel interface (but not for a virtual Fibre
Channel).
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) hardware transmitters are identified by their acronyms when displayed
in the show interface brief command. If the related SFP has a Cisco-assigned extended ID, then the show
interface and show interface brief commands display the ID instead of the transmitter type. The show
interface transceiver command and the show interface fc slot/port transceiver command display both values
for Cisco supported SFPs.
Verifying Interface Information
The show interface command displays interface configurations. If no arguments are provided, this command
displays the information for all the configured interfaces in the switch.
You can also specify arguments (a range of interfaces or multiple, specified interfaces) to display interface
information. You can specify a range of interfaces by entering a command with the following example format:
interface fc2/1 - 4 , fc3/2 - 3
The following example shows how to display all interfaces:
switch# show interface
fc3/1 is up
...
fc3/3 is up
...
Ethernet1/3 is up
...
mgmt0 is up
...
vethernet1/1 is up
...
vfc 1 is up
The following example shows how to display multiple specified interfaces:
switch# show interface fc3/1 , fc3/3
fc3/1 is up
...
fc3/3 is up
...
The following example shows how to display a specific interface:
switch# show interface vfc 1
vfc 1 is up
...
The following example shows how to display interface descriptions:
switch# show interface description
