Default Ethernet Interface Settings
For more details on the VLAN parameters listed in the table, see Chapter 17, “Configuring VLANs.” For
details on controlling traffic to the port, see Chapter 29, “Configuring Port-Based Traffic Control.”
Note To configure Layer 2 parameters, if the interface is in Layer 3 mode, you must enter the switchport
interface configuration command without any parameters to put the interface into Layer 2 mode. This
shuts down the interface and then reenables it, which might genera te messages on the device to which
the interface is connected. When you put an interface that is in Layer 3 mode into Layer 2 mode, the
previous configuration information related to the affected interface might be lost, and the interface is
returned to its default configuration.
Tab l e 15-2 Default Layer 2 Ethernet Interface Settings
Feature Default Setting
Operating mode Layer 2 or switching mode (switchport command).
Allowed VLAN range VLANs 1 to 4096.
Default VLAN (for access ports) VLAN 1 (Layer 2 interfaces only).
Native VLAN (for IEEE 802.1Q
trunks)
VLAN 1 (Layer 2 interfaces only).
VLAN trunking Switch port mode dynamic auto (supports DTP) (Layer 2
interfaces only).
Port enable state All ports are enabled.
Port description None defined.
Speed Autonegotiate.
Duplex mode Autonegotiate.
Flow control Flow control is set to receive: off. It is always off for sent packets.
EtherChannel (PAgP) Disabled on all Ethernet ports. Chapter 40, “Configuring
EtherChannels.”
Port blocking (unknown multicast
and unknown unicast traffic)
Disabled (not blocked) (Layer 2 interfaces only).
Broadcast, multicast, and unicast
storm control
Disabled.
Protected port Disabled (Layer 2 interfaces only).
Port security Disabled (Layer 2 interfaces only).
Port Fast Disabled.
Auto-MDIX Enabled.
Note The switch might not support a prestandard powered
device—such as Cisco IP phones and access points that do
not fully support IEEE 802.3af—if that powered device is
connected to the switch through a crossover cable. This is
regardless of whether auto-MIDX is enabled on the switch
port.
Keepalive messages Disabled on SFP module ports; enabled on all other ports.
