CLI
Showing Interfaces
Using the command show ip interfaces brief we get

Router
Interfaces have the shutdown command applied by default, meaning they will be in administratively down/down state by default.
Switch
Interfaces do NOT have the shutdown command applied by default, meaning they will be in the up/up state if connected to another device or in the down/down state if not connected
Interfaces Status


For security reasons, all unused interfaces should be disabled.
For this reason, we can configure a range of interfaces instead of one by one.
