Chapter 9 Configuring Interfaces
Using Interface Configuration Mode
protocol parameters and address configuration are added to an SVI or routed port, any IP traffic received
from these ports is routed. For more information, see
Chapter 29, “Configuring IP Unicast Routing”
and
Chapter 33, “Configuring IP Multicast Routing.”
Using Interface Configuration Mode
The switch supports these interface types:
•
Physical ports—switch ports, routed ports
•
SVIs—switch virtual interfaces
•
Port-channels—EtherChannel interfaces
Note
The switch also supports EFP service instances configured on physical interfaces. You configure EFPs
in service-instance configuration mode. See
Chapter 11, “Configuring Ethernet Virtual Connections
(EVCs).”
You can also configure a range of interfaces (see the
“Configuring a Range of Interfaces” section on
page 9-7
).
To configure a physical interface (port), specify the interface type, the module number, and the switch port
number, and enter interface configuration mode.
•
Type—Gigabit Ethernet (gigabitethernet or gi) for 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports, or small
form-factor pluggable (SFP) module Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
•
Module number—The module or slot number on the switch (always 0 on the Cisco ME switch).
•
Port number—The interface number on the switch. The port numbers always begin at 1, starting with
the leftmost port when facing the front of the switch, for example, gigabitethernet 0/1. If there is
more than one interface type (for example, 10/100/1000 ports and SFP module ports), the port
numbers restart with the second interface type: gigabitethernet 0/1.
You can identify physical interfaces by physically checking the interface location on the switch. You can
also use the show privileged EXEC commands to display information about a specific interface or all
the interfaces on the switch. The remainder of this chapter primarily provides physical interface
configuration procedures.
Procedures for Configuring Interfaces
These general instructions apply to all interface configuration processes.
Step 1
Enter the configure terminal command at the privileged EXEC prompt:
Switch#
configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#
Step 2
Enter the interface global configuration command. Identify the interface type and the number of the
connector. In this example, Fast Ethernet port 1 is selected:
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)#
