Inspect live device state with Info

Open Info and expand a router to inspect its physical interface addresses, administrative and operational status, and connected routes. Compare the displayed route with real terminal output. Search for an address, use Enter and Shift Enter to navigate matches, and clear the search. Hide and restore an information category, then collapse and expand the device tree. Change the physical and loopback addresses in the native terminal, refresh Info, and verify the new address and route. This walkthrough uses one simulated IOSv router; available information depends on the device and its configured capabilities.
