Configuring Supervisor Engine 720 Ports
Supervisor Engine 720, port 1 has a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) connector and no unique
configuration options.
Note
Cisco WS-X6408A-GBIC, which is an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet interface module for the Catalyst 6500
Series switches, is supported on Supervisor Engine 720.
Supervisor Engine 720, port 2 has an RJ-45 connector and an SFP connector (default). To use the RJ-45
connector, you must change the configuration.
To configure port 2 on Supervisor Engine 720, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to configure port 2 on Supervisor Engine 720 to use the RJ-45 connector:
Console> (enable)
set port media-type 5/2 rj45
Port 5/2 media type set to RJ-45.
Console> (enable)
Setting the Port Name
You can set the port names on Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet
switching modules to facilitate switch administration.
To set the port name, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to set the name for ports 1/1 and 1/2 and verify that the port names are
configured correctly:
Console> (enable)
set port name 1/1 Router Connection
Port 1/1 name set.
Console> (enable)
set port name 1/2 Server Link
Port 1/2 name set.
