Interfaces List View

The list of Interfaces in the Inventory provides information to identify the type and speed of the individual interfaces on devices.

Use this view for capacity planning or troubleshooting issues associated with routers or switches. For example, a router might have a performance issue that you could trace to a single interface. Or you might need to verify a service-level agreement with an ISP.

The Address list includes the following information about each IP address mapping:

The list of Interfaces in the Inventory provides the following information about each interface:

Type

Is the type of interface, such as 'gigabitEthernet' or 'primaryISDN', based on the ifType identifier.

Domain
