Configuring Interfaces Procedure

These general instructions apply to all interface configuration processes.

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	Enter the configure terminal command at the privileged EXEC
	prompt:
	Example:
	Switch# configure terminal
	Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with
	CNTL/Z.
	Switch(config)#
Step 2	Enter the interface global configuration command. Identify the	Note	You do not need to add a space between the
	interface type, the switch number (only on stacking-capable		interface type and the interface number. For
	switches), and the number of the connector. In this example,		example, in the preceding line, you can specify
	Gigabit Ethernet port 1 on switch 1 is selected:		either gigabitethernet 1/0/1,
			gigabitethernet1/0/1, gi 1/0/1, or gi1/0/1.
	Example:
	Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
	Switch(config-if)#

Step 3 Follow each interface command with the interface configuration commands that the interface requires. The commands that you enter define the protocols and applications that will run on the interface. The commands are collected and applied to the interface when you enter another interface command or enter end to return to privileged EXEC mode.

You can also configure a range of interfaces by using the interface range or interface range macro global configuration commands. Interfaces configured in a range must be the same type and must be configured with the same feature options.

Step 4 After you configure an interface, verify its status by using the show privileged EXEC commands.

Example:

Enter the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to see a list of all interfaces on or configured for the switch. A report is provided for each interface that the device supports or for the specified interface.
