get system interface [physical]

Key points

  • With physical, you see link up/down, speed and duplex.
  • status down means administratively disabled; a physical link down means no cable or peer.
  • Without ping in allowaccess, pings to that interface get no reply.

When it does not work

  • A speed or duplex mismatch shows up as rising errors in deviceinfo nic. Make both ends match.
