Note
If you use an MM900 media module with an optical interface, use
gigabitethernet
for the
interface-type
parameter. For further information on the media modules, refer to the
compact operating instructions of the MM900 media modules for SCALANCE XR-500.
Available interface identifiers with SCALANCE XM-400
●
Interfaces of the basic device
The interfaces of the basic device SCALANCE XM-400 are called module 1.
●
Interfaces of extenders
The port extenders are called module 2 and module 3 starting from the basic device. The
number of port extenders depends on the number of ports of the basic device.

Available interface identifiers with SCALANCE XR-500
●
Fixed interfaces
The interfaces permanently installed in the SCALANCE XR-500 are identified with
module 0.
cpu0
: Out of band interface
●
Interfaces of modules
The slots for modules are called module 1 and the following numbers. The numbering
range depends on the hardware configuration. The numbering is fixed and does not
depend on the number of modules being used.
Each module has 4 ports numbered 1 to 4.
Available logical interfaces
●
VLAN
The device supports up to 127 VLAN ports.
To be able to use a VLAN, create it with the
vlan
command.
●
Aggregated links, aggregated ports, port channel, Etherchannel
These terms are used for the same function:
Several ports or connections between two devices are logically bundled together
(aggregated) to achieve a higher data transmission rate and a lower failure risk.
The device supports 8 link aggregations or Etherchannels each with a maximum of 8
ports per aggregation.
To add an interface to an Etherchannel, use the "
channel-group
" command.
