Full set: 342 questions
Answer options
A: show interfaces brief Correct answer
B: show ip route
C: show interface status Correct answer
D: show vlan
Correct Answer:
A. show interfaces brief; C. show interface status
Explanation

Both show interfaces brief and show interface status are valid ArubaOS-CX CLI commands used to display a summary of the operational state for all interfaces on a switch. The show interfaces brief command provides a concise table listing each interface along with its administrative and link status. Similarly, the show interface status command presents a summary table that includes the status (e.g., connected, notconnect), VLAN, duplex, speed, and type for every interface, fulfilling the requirement to view the status of all interfaces.

Why Incorrect

B. show ip route: This command is used to display the switch's IP routing table, which contains network routes, not the operational status of physical interfaces.
D. show vlan: This command displays information about configured VLANs and their port membership, but it does not show the link status (up/down) of the interfaces.

show ip route: "Shows the IP route table." This confirms the command's purpose is for routing information

not interface status.
