Chapter9 Configuring Interface Cha rac teristics Configuring Ethernet Interfaces
Configuring User Network and Network Node Interfaces
By default, all the 10/100 ports on the Cisco ME switch are configured as UNIs, and the SFP module
ports are configured as NNIs.
You can use the port-type interface configuration command to change the port types. At any one time,
only four ports on the switch can be configured as NNIs, but every port on the switch c an be configured
as UNIs.
When a port is changed from an NNI to a UNI, it inherits the conf igur ation of the ass igned VLAN , either
in isolated or community mode. For more information about configuring UNI isolated and UNI
community VLANs, see Chapter11, “C onfiguring V LAN s.”
Note When you change a port from NNI to UNI or the reverse, any fe atur es exclus ive to the po rt type are
removed from the configuration to prevent conflicting configuration optio ns on a specific interface type.
