ETHERNET PORTS

Before you configure your system, become familiar with the physical port numbering scheme on the system. Understanding the port numbering scheme enables you to:

Manage your bridge ports (especially if you use trunking), as described in the Implementation Guide for your system

Accurately define your virtual LANs (VLANs), as described in the Implementation Guide for your system

 

This chapter provides guidelines and other key information about how to

 

configure Ethernet ports in your system.

 

 

For more information about port numbering and how to configure

 

Ethernet ports, see the Implementation Guide for your system.

 

 

Menu Structure

The commands that you can use depend on your system, your level of

 

access, and the modules and other hardware options that are configured

 

for your system. The following diagram shows the list of commands for

 

all systems. The checklist at the beginning of each command description

 

in this chapter shows whether your system supports the command.
