Viewing Physical Interfaces of Devices

Junos Space Network Management Platform displays physical interfaces by device name, on the basis of the device information in the Junos Space Platform database. You can view the operational status and administrative status of physical interfaces for one or more devices to troubleshoot problems.

If the interface status changes on the managed device, the information is not updated in Junos Space Platform until the device is resynchronized with the Junos Space Platform database.

Note:

You can view the physical interfaces of devices from the Device Management page. To view the physical interfaces of a device from the Device Management page, click the View link in the Physical Interfaces column corresponding to the device. You are redirected to the View Physical Interfaces page.

To view the physical interfaces of devices:

On the Network Management Platform user interface, select Devices > Device Management.
The Device Management page displays the devices managed by Junos Space Platform.

Select the devices for which you want to view the physical interfaces and select Device Inventory > View Physical Interfaces from the Actions menu.

Alternatively, right-click the names of the device and select Device Inventory > View Physical Interfaces.

The View Physical Interfaces page that appears displays the physical interfaces and the status of the physical interfaces of the device. Table 1 describes the information that is displayed on the View Physical Interfaces page.

Table 1: View Physical Interfaces Page
Column	Description
Device Name	Name of the device as stored in the Junos Space Platform database. This column is displayed by default.
Physical Interface Name	Standard information about the interface, in the `type`-/`fpc`/`pic`/`port` format, where `type` is the media type that identifies the network device; for example, ge-0/0/6.
IP Address	IP address of the interface
IPv6 Address	IPv6 address of the interface. The address is displayed only if an IPv6 address is configured on the device.
Logical Interfaces	Link to the table of logical interfaces of the device
MAC Address	MAC address of the device
Operational Status	Operational status of the interface: Up or Down
Admin Status	Administrative status of the interface: Up or Down
Link Level Type	Link level type of the physical interface
Link Type	Physical interface link type: full duplex or half duplex
Speed (Mbps)	Speed at which the interface is running
MTU	Maximum transmission unit size on the physical interface
Description	An optional description for this interface configured on the device. It can be any text string of 512 or fewer characters. Any longer string is truncated to 512 characters. If there is no information, the column is empty.
Domain	Domain to which the device is assigned

(Optional) Select the columns displayed on the View Physical Interfaces page by mousing over any column head and clicking Columns on the drop-down list, then selecting the check boxes against the names of the columns that should be displayed.
The selected columns are displayed on the View Physical Interfaces page.
Click Back on the top-left corner to return to the Device Management page.
