Hi, everyone, I'm new here, but I need some help. I'm stuck on Lab 7.3.7 View the Switch MAC Address Table. As I mentioned in the title, I did this in Netlabs online. You're supposed to configure two switches and two PCs and name the switches as well as put a password on console and vty & configure a password for privileged EXEC too. I configured the PCs first & configured passwords on everything. Then it said to go back to each switch and enter the "show interface f0/1" command, which I did. It said "Invalid Input detected at the "f" in "show interface f0/1".
I forgot to configure the switch's IP address & subnet masks, so I go back and do that. Then I enter "show interface f0/1" again, this time it's giving me the same error but on the 0 instead of the f this time. I took a screenshot. Could it have screwed up everything because I forgot to put configure the IP address & subnet masks on the switches until later? I know I configured the IP address on both PC-A and S1, because I tried a ping test.
Please let me know what I'm missing guys, thanks!!

those "testing" environments can be tricky. Can you do show run to see what interfaces you have listed there and then try using full name of interface; unlike real IOS, this "test" will not let you use any shortcuts or abbreviation,. if still not working, contact NDG or whoever created this exercise.

Hello,
I just checked one of the other Netlabs labs, the syntax looks like this:
show interface f0/1

Hello
show ip interface brief - this will show you the correct interfaces then you can perform a
show run interface x/x
show interface x/x
