5.
Set the expected bandwidth
for the Ethernet subinterface.
bandwidth
bandwidth-value
By default, the expected
bandwidth (in kbps) is the
interface baud rate divided by
1000.
6.
Bring up the Ethernet
subinterface.
undo shutdown
By default, Ethernet subinterfaces
are in down state.
The
shutdown
and
port
up-mode
commands are mutually
exclusive.
Configuring the link mode of an Ethernet interface
CAUTION:
After you change the link mode of an Ethernet interface, all commands (except the
shutdown
command) on the Ethernet interface are restored to their defaults in the new link mode.
The interfaces on this Switch Series can operate either as Layer 2 or Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces.
You can set the link mode to bridge or route.
You might fail to change the link mode of an Ethernet interface because of conflicting configurations
on the interface. To solve this problem, manually delete all configurations of the interface and change
the link mode again.
To configure the link mode of an Ethernet interface:

Configuring jumbo frame support
An Ethernet interface might receive frames larger than the standard Ethernet frame size during
high-throughput data exchanges, such as file transfers. These frames are called jumbo frames.
The Ethernet interface processes jumbo frames in the following ways:
•
When the Ethernet interface is configured to deny jumbo frames, the Ethernet interface
discards jumbo frames.
•
When the Ethernet interface is configured with jumbo frame support, the Ethernet interface
performs the following operations:
