Chapter 2 Configuring Interfaces

Configuring Interfaces

	Command	Purpose
Step 3
	switch(config-if)#switchport speed 1000	Configures the port speed of the interface to 1000
		Mbps.
		The number indicates the speed in megabits per
		second (Mbps).
	switch(config-if)# switchport speed	Configures the port speed of the interface to 10000
	10000	Mbps (for 10-Gbps).
		Note All the 10-Gbps capable interfaces, except the
		interface that is being configured, must be in
		the out-of-service state. At least one other
		10-Gbps capable interface must be in the
		in-service state.
	switch(config-if)# no switchport speed	Reverts the factory default (auto) administrative speed
		of the interface.

Configuring Port Speed Group

Detailed Steps

To configure the port speed group of the interface, follow these steps:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	switch# config t	Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
	switch(config)# interface fc 1/1	Selects the fc interface and enters interface
		configuration mode.
Step 3
	switch(config-if)# speed group 10g	Configures the port speed group to 10 Gbps.
		Note The preferred way of changing the speed
		group is the 10g-speed-modecommand.
	switch(config-if)# no speed group 10g	Unsets the port speed group and reverts to the factory
		default (auto) administrative speed group of the
		interface.

Configuring the Interface Description

The interface description can be any alphanumeric string.

Detailed Steps

To configure a description for an interface, follow these steps:

	Command	Purpose
