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 Bulk Configuration . For more information on port channels, refer
to Port Channel Interfaces .
Dell Networking OS Behavior : The system uses a single MAC address for all physical interfaces.
Configuration Task List for Physical Interfaces

The following section includes information about optional configurations for physical interfaces:
• Overview of Layer Modes
• Configuring Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode
• Configuring Layer 2 (Interface) Mode
• Management Interfaces
