  4    Lab1       100/1000T  1     No        1000FDx Yes     Auto

You can specify the column width by entering a colon after the column name, then indicating the number of characters to display. In Example of the custom show interfaces command, the Name column displays only the first four characters of the name. All remaining characters are truncated.


	NOTE: Each field has a fixed minimum width to be displayed. If you specify a field width smaller than the minimum width, the information is displayed at the minimum width. For example, if the minimum width for the Name field is 4 characters and you specify Name:2, the Name field displays 4 characters.

You can enter parameters in any order. There is a limit of 80 characters per line; if you exceed this limit an error displays.

Smart Rate

Syntax

show interface <PORT-LIST> smartrate

The option smartrate has been added to the show interface <PORT-LIST> command. This option is used to display port diagnostics on a Smart Rate port only. If the command is run on a non‐Smart Rate port, a message similar to Port A1: This command is only applicable to Smart Rate ports will display.
