E.

interface status

Answers
E.

interface status

Suggested answer: C, E

Explanation:

The show ip interface brief command provides a concise summary of the status and IP addressing configuration of interfaces on a Cisco router or switch. Here's what it displays:

Interface: The name of the interface (e.g., FastEthernet0/0, GigabitEthernet1/1).

IP Address: The Layer 3 IP address assigned to the interface (if any).

OK? Indicates the IP layer status of the interface (YES if operational, NO if not).

Method: How the IP address was configured (manual or DHCP).

Status: The Layer 1 status of the interface (up or down).

Protocol: The Layer 2 status of the interface (up or down).

Why other options are incorrect:

Layer 2 address: The show ip interface brief command does not directly display Layer 2 (MAC) addresses. You can use the show interface <interface-name> command for that.

Keepalive: Keepalives are used in some routing protocols but are not generally reflected in the output of the show ip interface brief command.

Encapsulation type: Encapsulation information is also not typically included in the show ip interface brief output.

Cisco IOS show ip interface brief command: [invalid URL removed]
