In the output of the show interface terse command, what does the Link column signify?

The Link column in the output of the show interface terse command provides crucial information regarding the physical state of the interface. It indicates whether the interface is physically up or down, which is essential for diagnosing connectivity issues. When the Link column shows "up," it verifies that the interface is operational at the physical layer, allowing data frames to be sent and received.

On the other hand, the operational status of the interface is typically represented by the operational state shown in other fields, but it is not necessarily limited to the Link column alone. An interface being administratively down pertains to its configuration rather than its physical state; this is not indicated by the Link column. The bandwidth details of an interface are not shown in this specific output, as the Link column focuses purely on physical layer connectivity rather than performance metrics.
