Command Mode
Global Configuration Mode.
Command Default Level
Level: 15.
Usage Guideline
This command enters the interface configuration mode for a specific interface. The format of the interface
number is dependent on the interface type. For physical port interfaces, the user cannot enter the interface if
the Switch’s port does not exist. The physical port interface cannot be removed by the no command.
Use the
interface vlan
command to create Layer 3 interfaces. Use the
vlan
command in the global
configuration mode to create a VLAN before creating Layer 3 interfaces. Use the
no interface vlan
command to remove a Layer 3 interface.
The port channel interface is automatically created when the
channel-group
command is configured
for the physical port interface. A port channel interface will be automatically removed when no
