Hi

Thanks

I didn't know so I looked it up:
"To display information about the Packet OC-3 interface"
Cisco IOS Interface Command Reference, Release 12.2 - Interface Commands (show interfaces - show interfaces vg-anylan)  [Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.2 Mainline] - Cisco Systems

I like random questions like this; now we both know the answer!
