MAC Address

Is the burnedin physical address of the specified interface. The

 

format is 6 two-digit hexadecimal numbers that are separated by

 

colons.

Maximum Transmission Unit Is a number representing the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size (in bytes) for the interface. The default value is 1500. For the standard implementation the maximum value is 1500 and the minimum value is 576 bytes. This value was configured into the unit.

Encapsulation Type

Is the encapsulation type for the specified interface. The types

 

are: Ethernet or SNAP.

config interface encaps

This command configures the link layer encapsulation type for the packet. Acceptable values for <encapstype> are Ethernet and SNAP. The default is Ethernet.

Format

config interface encaps <slot.port> <ether-

 

net/snap>

Restrictions

Routed frames are always Ethernet encapsulated when a frame is

 

routed to a VLAN.

config interface routing

This command enables or disables routing for an interface.

The value for <mode> is either enable or disable.

The current value for this function is displayed under "Show ip Interface" labeled as "Routing Mode".

Default

disable

Format

config interface routing <slot.port>

 

<enable/disable>

config ip interface mtu

This command sets the default maximum transmission unit (MTU) size (in bytes) for the interface. For the standard implementation, the range of <mtusize> is a valid integer between 576-1500.
