node (prt-ser)[ slot/port ]#show port serial Displays the serial interface configuration.
Example: Enabling an interface
The example shows how to enable the built-in serial interface on slot 0 and port 0 of a SmartNode 2300 series
device. Check that in the command output of show port serial State is set to OPENED.
