Cisco Professionals,

What does this syntax mean?

Interface GigabitEthernet4/0/0(idb 0x70103044)

Hardware is Half-height Gigabit Ethernet MAC Controller - Removed

"Removed" = is the slot empty, was there a card before and it was removed, when I perform a show diag 4/0 nothing shows, when I perform a show interface it recongnizes something..

also take a look at the following show interface command:

GigabitEthernet4/0/0 is reset, line protocol is down

Hardware is not present

Hardware is Half-height Gigabit Ethernet MAC Controller, address is 000b.23r6.2978 (bia 000b.23r6.2978)

Looks like the hardware was removed. "Show diag" probably interacts with the hardware directly, so you got nothing, while "show interface" just displays the logical configurations, so it doesn't need the hardware to be present.
