Chapter12 Configuring Interface Characteristics
Using Interface Configuration Mode
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 12-13).
To configure a physical interface (port), specify the interface type, stack member number, module number,
and switch port number, and enter interfac e configuration mode.
Type—Port types depend on those supported on the switch. Possible types are: Fast Ethernet
(fastethernet or fa) for 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet, 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.
Stack member number—The number that identifies the switch within the stack. The switch number
range is 1 to 4 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 “Member Numbers” section on page5-6.
Module number—The module or slot number on the switch (always 0).
Port number—The interface number on the switch. The port numbers always begin at 1, starting with
the far left port when facing the front of the switch, for example, fastethernet1/0/1 or
gigabitethernet1/0/1. If there is more than one interface type (for example, 10/100 ports and SFP
module ports, the port numbers restart with the second interface type: gigabitethernet1/0/1.
You can identify physical interfaces by looking at the switch. You can also use the show privileged
EXEC commands to display information about a specific interface or all the interfaces. The remainder
of this chapter primarily provides physical interface configuration procedures.
These examples identify interfaces:
To configure 10/100/1000 port 4 on a standalone switch, enter this command:
Switch(config)# interface gigabit
tethernet1/0/4
To configure 10/100 port 4 on stack member 3, enter this command:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet3/0/4
To configure 10-Gigabit module port 1 on a standalone switch, enter this command:
Switch(config)# interface tengigabitethernet1/0/1
To configure 10-Gigabit module port on stack member 3, enter this command:
Switch(config)# interface tengigabitethernet3/0/1
