Basic Validation for the Cisco Nexus 5000 series switch configuration
With connections made via fiber optic cable or direct connect cable (twin-ax) the basic connectivity on
the port between the two switches can be verified. These cables or SFP+ transceivers must only be
Cisco-branded products for the Cisco Nexus to link properly. The following command is used to give a
port status overview:
SHOW INTERFACE BRIEF. This example has been shortened from the actual results
but will display the results of active ports and VFC interfaces. Verify that the ports which are expected
to have links show up correctly.
Example of show interface brief command Figure 14.
