Which portion of the show interface command output indicates a congested interface?

  • output queue drops
  • input errors
  • output errors
  • input queue drops

Explanation: Output queue drops are specifically designated as being a result of a congested link. This occurs when the volume of traffic attempting to exit an interface exceeds the capacity of that link, causing the output buffer to overflow.

In contrast, the other indicators mentioned in the output of the show interface command signify different issues:

  • Input queue drops: These indicate that the router is receiving more traffic than it can actually process internally.
  • Input errors: These typically point to physical interface problems, CRC errors, or duplex mismatches.
  • Output errors: These are usually related to duplex issues on the connection.
