What command can be used to identify interface status?

The purenetwork list --all command is used to display a comprehensive list of all attributes for the network interfaces on a Pure Storage FlashArray. This detailed view includes the 'Status' column, which explicitly shows the operational state of the interface link (e.g., 'up', 'down', 'unused'). This is the most direct and complete command to identify the current status of all network interfaces.

A. purenetwork list: This command displays only a default, summarized set of attributes for network interfaces. While useful, it does not include the detailed 'Status' column by default.

C. purenetwork list --eth: The --eth flag is not a valid or recognized option for the purenetwork list command in the Pure Storage FlashArray CLI.

Section: purenetwork Commands

Page/Content: This document corroborates the function of purenetwork list --all. It describes the command as the method to view all fields for network interfaces, including their operational status, contrasting it with the default purenetwork list which shows a subset of this information. It also implicitly confirms that --eth is not a valid option.
