# Use `DescribeNetworkInterfaceAttribute` with a CLI The following code examples show how to use `DescribeNetworkInterfaceAttribute`. ------ #### [ CLI ] **AWS CLI** **To describe the attachment attribute of a network interface** This example command describes the `attachment` attribute of the specified network interface. Command: ``` aws ec2 describe-network-interface-attribute --network-interface-id eni-686ea200 --attribute attachment ``` Output: ``` { "NetworkInterfaceId": "eni-686ea200", "Attachment": { "Status": "attached", "DeviceIndex": 0, "AttachTime": "2015-05-21T20:02:20.000Z", "InstanceId": "i-1234567890abcdef0", "DeleteOnTermination": true, "AttachmentId": "eni-attach-43348162", "InstanceOwnerId": "123456789012" } } ``` **To describe the description attribute of a network interface** This example command describes the `description` attribute of the specified network interface. Command: ``` aws ec2 describe-network-interface-attribute --network-interface-id eni-686ea200 --attribute description ``` Output: ``` { "NetworkInterfaceId": "eni-686ea200", "Description": { "Value": "My description" } } ``` **To describe the groupSet attribute of a network interface** This example command describes the `groupSet` attribute of the specified network interface. Command: ``` aws ec2 describe-network-interface-attribute --network-interface-id eni-686ea200 --attribute groupSet ``` Output: ``` { "NetworkInterfaceId": "eni-686ea200", "Groups": [ { "GroupName": "my-security-group", "GroupId": "sg-903004f8" } ] } ``` **To describe the sourceDestCheck attribute of a network interface** This example command describes the `sourceDestCheck` attribute of the specified network interface. Command: ``` aws ec2 describe-network-interface-attribute --network-interface-id eni-686ea200 --attribute sourceDestCheck ``` Output: ``` { "NetworkInterfaceId": "eni-686ea200", "SourceDestCheck": { "Value": true } } ``` + For API details, see [DescribeNetworkInterfaceAttribute](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/ec2/describe-network-interface-attribute.html) in *AWS CLI Command Reference*. ------ #### [ PowerShell ] **Tools for PowerShell V4** **Example 1: This example describes the specified network interface.** ``` Get-EC2NetworkInterfaceAttribute -NetworkInterfaceId eni-12345678 -Attribute Attachment ``` **Output:** ``` Attachment : Amazon.EC2.Model.NetworkInterfaceAttachment ``` **Example 2: This example describes the specified network interface.** ``` Get-EC2NetworkInterfaceAttribute -NetworkInterfaceId eni-12345678 -Attribute Description ``` **Output:** ``` Description : My description ``` **Example 3: This example describes the specified network interface.** ``` Get-EC2NetworkInterfaceAttribute -NetworkInterfaceId eni-12345678 -Attribute GroupSet ``` **Output:** ``` Groups : {my-security-group} ``` **Example 4: This example describes the specified network interface.** ``` Get-EC2NetworkInterfaceAttribute -NetworkInterfaceId eni-12345678 -Attribute SourceDestCheck ``` **Output:** ``` SourceDestCheck : True ``` + For API details, see [DescribeNetworkInterfaceAttribute](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/v4/reference) in *AWS Tools for PowerShell Cmdlet Reference (V4)*. **Tools for PowerShell V5** **Example 1: This example describes the specified network interface.** ``` Get-EC2NetworkInterfaceAttribute -NetworkInterfaceId eni-12345678 -Attribute Attachment ``` **Output:** ``` Attachment : Amazon.EC2.Model.NetworkInterfaceAttachment ``` **Example 2: This example describes the specified network interface.** ``` Get-EC2NetworkInterfaceAttribute -NetworkInterfaceId eni-12345678 -Attribute Description ``` **Output:** ``` Description : My description ``` **Example 3: This example describes the specified network interface.** ``` Get-EC2NetworkInterfaceAttribute -NetworkInterfaceId eni-12345678 -Attribute GroupSet ``` **Output:** ``` Groups : {my-security-group} ``` **Example 4: This example describes the specified network interface.** ``` Get-EC2NetworkInterfaceAttribute -NetworkInterfaceId eni-12345678 -Attribute SourceDestCheck ``` **Output:** ``` SourceDestCheck : True ``` + For API details, see [DescribeNetworkInterfaceAttribute](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/v5/reference) in *AWS Tools for PowerShell Cmdlet Reference (V5)*. ------ For a complete list of AWS SDK developer guides and code examples, see [Create Amazon EC2 resources using an AWS SDK](sdk-general-information-section.md).
