    Most often, this is harmless.

     

    /sbin/ifinfo is executed, when a user does a 'show interface' command.  Because ifinfo returned error (status 1), it likely means someone did 'show interface' for an interface that wasn't found.  Like a typo, or an interface that doesn't exist on the router.

     

    If you can rule out someone doing the above, then I would look for any other errors/unusual logs around that.

    You are quite correct. I did a "show interface" on a interface that does not exist.

     

    An error was generated in the log.

     

    Thank you.
