Chapter11 Configuring Interface Char acteristics
Using Interface Configuration Mode
Use the commands in Table11-2 when using TFTP to download or upload a configuration file to the
boot loader.
Using Interface Configuration Mode
The switch supports these interface types:
•Physical ports—switch ports and routed ports
•VLANs—switch virtual interfaces
•Port channels—EtherChannel interfaces
You can also configure a range of interfaces (see the “Configuring a Range of Interfaces” section on
page 11-17).
To configure a physical interface (port), specify the interface type, stack member number (only
Catalyst3750-E switches), module number, and switch port number, and enter interface configuration mode.
•Type—Gigabit Ethernet (gigabitethernet or gi) for 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports, 10-Gigabit
Ethernet (tengigabitethernet or te) for 10,000 Mb/s, or small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (gigabitethernet or gi).
•Stack member number—The number that identifies the switch within the stack. The switch number
range is 1 to 9 and is assigned the first time the switch initializes. The default switch number, before
it is integrated into a switch stack, is 1. When a switch has been assigned a stack member number,
it keeps that number until another is assigned to it.
You can use the switch port LEDs in Stack mode to identify the stack member number of a switch.
For information about stack member numbers, see the “Stack Member N umbers” section on
page 5-6.
•Module number—The module or slot number on the switch that i s always 0.
Table11-2 Boot Loader Commands

without the ip_address parameter.
Enables ARP to associate a MAC address with the specified IP address
when this command is entered with the ip_address parameter.
1. ARP = Address Resolution Protocol
Mgmt_init Resets the MAC address of the Ethernet management port.
Mgmt_show Displays the statistics for the Ethernet management port.
Mgmt_clr Clears the statistics for the Ethernet management port.
Ping host_ip_address Sends ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to the specified network host.
boot tftp:/file-url ... Loads and boots an executable image from the TFTP server and enters
