What information does the show interfaces status command provide?

The command "show interfaces status" provides a comprehensive overview of the status of switch interfaces, including their operational state, VLAN assignments, and characteristics such as speed, duplex settings, and whether the port is set to access or trunk mode. This command is particularly useful for network technicians who need to quickly assess the health and configuration of multiple interfaces on a switch.

By using this command, administrators can verify which VLAN a particular interface is associated with and confirm if the interfaces are up, down, or in a suspended state. This is essential for troubleshooting connectivity issues, ensuring that the interfaces are configured correctly, and understanding how devices are segmented within the network.

The other options refer to different sets of functionalities that are not provided by the "show interfaces status" command. For example, WAN diagnostics, debugging outputs, and routing metrics pertain to other specific commands focused on those functionalities.
