7.2.1.2.4interface ethernet

Command: interface ethernet <interface-list>

Function: Enters Ethernet Interface Mode from Global Mode.

Parameters: <interface-list>stands for port number.

Command mode: Global Mode

Usage Guide: Run the exit command to exit the Ethernet Interface Mode to Global Mode.

Example: Entering the Ethernet Interface Mode for ports 1/1, 2/4-5, 3/8. Switch(Config)#interface ethernet 1/1;2/4-5;3/8 Switch(Config-Port-Range)#

7.2.1.2.5loopback

Command: loopback no loopback

Function: Enables the loopback test function in an Ethernet port; the “no loopback” command disables the loopback test on an Ethernet port.

Command mode: Interface Mode

Default: Loopback test is disabled in Ethernet port by default.

Usage Guide: Loopback test can be used to verify the Ethernet ports are working normally. After loopback has been enabled, the port will assume a connection established to itself, and all traffic sent from the port will be received at the very same port.

Example: Enabling loopback test in Ethernet ports 1/1 – 8 Switch(Config)#interface ethernet 1/1-8 Switch(Config-Port-Range)#loopback

7.2.1.2.6mdi

Command: mdi { auto across normal } no mdi

Function: Sets the cable types supported by the Ethernet port; the “no mdi” command sets the cable type to auto-identification. This command is not supported on ES4710BD line card ports of 1000Mbps or more, these ports have auto-identification set for cable types.

Parameters: auto indicates auto identification of cable types; across indicates crossover cable support only; normal indicates straight-through cable support only.

Command mode: Interface Mode

Default: Port cable type is set to auto-identification by default.

Usage Guide: Auto-identification is recommended. Generally, straight-through cable is used for switch-PC connection and crossover cable is used for switch-switch connection.
