Enabling a Physical Interface
After determining the type of physical interfaces available, to enable and configure the interfaces, enter INTERFACE mode by using the
interface
interface
command.
1
Enter the keyword
interface
then the type of interface and slot/port[
/subport
] information.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface
interface
•
For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet
then the slot/port[/subport] information.
•
For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
fortyGigE
then the slot/port information.
2
Enable the interface.
INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
To confirm that the interface is enabled, use the
show config
command in INTERFACE mode. To leave INTERFACE mode, use the
exit
command or
end
command. You cannot delete a physical interface.
Physical Interfaces
The
Management Ethernet interface
is a single RJ-45 Fast Ethernet port on a switch.
The interface provides dedicated management access to the system.
Stack-unit interfaces support Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic over the 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. These interfaces
can also become part of virtual interfaces such as virtual local area networks (VLANs) or port channels.
For more information about VLANs, refer to
. For more information on port channels, refer to
Dell Networking OS Behavior
: The system uses a single MAC address for all physical interfaces.
Configuration Task List for Physical Interfaces
By default, all interfaces are operationally disabled and traffic does not pass through them.
The following section includes information about optional configurations for physical interfaces:
•
•
Configuring Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode
•
Configuring Layer 2 (Interface) Mode
•
•
Auto-Negotiation on Ethernet Interfaces
•
•
Overview of Layer Modes
On all systems running Dell Networking OS, you can place physical interfaces, port channels, and VLANs in Layer 2 mode or Layer 3 mode.
By default, VLANs are in Layer 2 mode.
