Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The following sections describe how to configure Gigabit Ethernet switching ports on the Catalyst
enterprise LAN switches.
Note For information on configuring Gigabit EtherChannel, see Chapter 6, “Configuring Fast EtherChannel
and Gigabit EtherChannel.”
Assigning Gigabit Ethernet Port Names
You can assign names to the ports on Gigabit Ethernet modules to facilitate switch administration.
To assign a name to a port, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to assign the name for ports 2/1 and 2/2 and how to verify that the port names
are configured correctly:
Console> (enable) set port name 2/1 Backbone Connection
Port 2/1 name set.
Console> (enable) set port name 2/2 Wiring Closet
Port 2/2 name set.
Console> (enable) show port 2
Port Name Status Vlan Level Duplex Speed Type
