Configuring Port Characteristics

What Interface Types are Supported?

The physical ports on the switch front panel include the out-of-band (OOB)

interface and Gigabit Ethernet switch ports. The OOB interface supports a

limited set of features and is for switch management only. The Ethernet

switch ports support many logical features that are often supported by logical

interfaces. The switch supports the following types of logical interfaces:

• Port-based VLANs — For more information, see "Configuring VLANs" on

page 571.

• VLAN routing interfaces — For more information, see "Configuring

Routing Interfaces" on page 843.

• Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs), which are also called port channels) —

For more information, see "Configuring Link Aggregation" on page 819.

• Tunnels — For more information, see "Configuring Routing Interfaces"

on page 843.

• Loopback interfaces — For more information, see "Configuring Routing

Interfaces" on page 843.

The PowerConnect 7000 Series includes two Power over Ethernet (PoE) Plus

models: the PowerConnect 7024P and the PowerConnect 7048P. For

information about configuring PoE plus features for the ports, see "Managing

General System Settings" on page 271.
Two expansion slots are located on the back of the switch and can support the

following modules:

• 10GBase  module
• SFP+  module
• Stacking/10  GbE  module

Each plug-in module has two ports. The Stacking/10GbE modules can be

configured to operate as either 16-Gigabit stacking ports or 10-Gigabit

Ethernet switch ports.

What is Interface Configuration Mode?

When you use the CLI to configure physical or logical characteristics for an

interface, you must enter Interface Configuration Mode for that interface. To

enter the mode, type the keyword

interface

followed by the interface type and

additional information to identify the interface, such as the interface number.
