Note: The show command displays the network settings that are currently in
effect. If you have made changes to the custom network configuration
since rebooting the DXi, these changes do not take effect until after the
next reboot.
CLI command options:
• --devname: If not specified, shows the network configuration for all device
names. If specified, shows the information for the specified device only. The
general format for DEVNAME is <label><devno>[:<vifno>] where
• label: Device label, which is an alphabetic string (e.g. bond, eth, ...)
• devno: Device number, which can range from 0 to possibly 99,
depending on actual systems.
• vifno: Virtual interface number, which is optional and can range from 1
to possibly 99, depending on actual systems.
