Display Extensive Status Information for a Specific Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet Interface

Purpose

To display extensive status information about a specific Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interface, use the following Junos OS CLI operational mode command:

Action

user@host> show interfaces (fe-fpc/pic/port | ge-fpc/pic/port) extensive

Sample Output

The following sample output is for a Fast Ethernet interface:

Meaning

The sample output shows where the errors might be occurring and includes autonegotiation information. See Table 1 for a description of errors to look for.

Table 1: Errors to Look For

Error

Meaning

Policed discards

Discarded frames that were not recognized or were not of interest.

L2 channel errors

Packets for which the router could not find a valid logical interface. For example, the packet is for a virtual LAN (VLAN) that is not configured on the interface.

MTU

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) must match the interface of either the router at the remote end of the Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet link, or that of the switch.

Input DA rejects

Number of packets with a destination Media Access Control (MAC) address that is not on the accept list. It is normal to see this number increment.

Input SA rejects

Number of packets with a source MAC address that is not on the accept list. This number only increments when source MAC address filtering is configured.

If the physical link is down, look at the active alarms and defects for the Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interface and diagnose the Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet media accordingly. See Checklist for Locating Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Alarms and Counters for an explanation of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet alarms.

Table 2 lists and describes some MAC statistics errors to look for.

Table 2: MAC Statistics Errors

Error

Meaning

CRC/Align errors

The total number of packets received that had a length (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) of between 64 and 1518 octets, inclusive, but had either a bad FCS with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error).

MAC control frames

The number of MAC control frames.

MAC pause frames

The number of MAC control frames with pause operational code.

Jabber frames

The total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets), and had either an FCS error or an alignment error.

Note that this definition of jabber is different from the definition in IEEE-802.3 section 8.2.1.5 (10BASE5) and section 10.3.1.4 (10BASE2). These documents define jabber as the condition where any packet exceeds 20 ms. The allowed range to detect jabber is between 20 ms and 150 ms.

Fragment frames

The total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets in length (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets), and had either an FCS error an alignment error.

Note that it is entirely normal for fragment frames to increment because both runts (which are normal occurrences due to collisions) and noise hits are counted.

Autonegotiation is the process that connected Ethernet interfaces use to communicate the information necessary to interoperate. Table 3 explains the autonegotiation information of the show interface interface-name extensive command output.

Table 3: Autonegotiation Information

Autonegotiation Field Information

Explanation

Negotiation status: Incomplete

The Negotiation status field shows Incomplete when the Ethernet interface has the speed or link mode configured.

Negotiation status: No autonegotiation

The Negotiation status field shows No autonegotiation when the remote Ethernet interface has the speed or link mode configured, or does not perform autonegotiation.

Negotiation status: Complete
Link partner status: OK

The Negotiation status field shows Complete and the Link partner field shows OK when the Ethernet interface is connected to a device that performs autonegotiation and the autonegotiation process completes successfully.

Link partner: Half-duplex

The Link partner field can be Full-duplex or Half-duplex depending on the capability of the attached Ethernet device.

Flow control: Symmetric/asymmetric

The Flow control field displays the types of flow control supported by the remote Ethernet device.
