Using the Internal Ethernet Management Port
This example shows how to create a multiple-inte rface m a cr o n amed macro1:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# define interface-range macro1 gigabitethernet1/0/1 - 2,
gigabitethernet1/0/5 - 7, tengigabitethernet1/0/1 -2
Switch(config)# end
This example shows how to enter interface-range configuration mode for the interface-range
macroen et_list:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range macro enet_list
Switch(config-if-range)#
This example shows how to delete the interface-range macro enet_list and to verify that it was deleted.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# no define interface-range enet_list
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show run | include define
Switch#

Understanding the Internal Ethernet Management Port
The internal Ethernet management port is also referred to as the Fa0 or fastethernet0 port. It is an
internal Layer 3 port connected to the chassis management controller (CMC) (see Figure10-2). The IP
addresses are assigned to the management port by you through the CMC or by the DHCP server. You can
manage the switch through these IP addresses.
We recommend that you let the Onboard Administrato r act as th e DH CP se rver, assigning an IP address
to the management port. You can use this address to manage the switch. You must first configure the
internal Ethernet management port as a DHCP client by using the ip address dhcp interface
configuration command.
In a switch stack, only the Ethernet management port on the stack ma ster is e nabl ed. T he po rts on the
stack members are disabled. You cannot change the IP address of a stack member by using the CMC.
