Combo ports
Combo port is the name for two communication ports. A combo port has the two following
jacks:
●
a fixed RJ-45 port
●
an SFP transceiver slot that can be equipped individually
Of these two ports, only one can ever be active.
You can set the active port with the command
media-type
.
Identification of the interfaces in the command prompt of the Interface configuration mode
To configure the interface use the command
interface
in the global configuration mode.
Since you configure precisely one of the existing interfaces in the Interface configuration
mode, the command prompt shows not only the mode but also the name of this interface.
The command prompt is as follows:
cli(config-if-$$$)#
The placeholder
$$$
is replaced by the following name of the interface:
Type of interface
Command prompt
cpu0
cli(config-if-cpu0)#
vlan
cli(config-if-vlan-$)#
port-channel
cli(config-if-po-$)#
gigabitethernet
cli(config-if-Gi$-$)#
extreme-ethernet
cli(config-if-Ex$-$)#
Router-Port
cli(config-RPort-Gi$-$)#
The placeholders
$
or
$-$
denote the numbering of the interface.
2.6.2
Address types, address ranges and address masks
Overview
Since the various types of addresses can be represented by different notations, the notations
used in the Command Line Interface are shown below:
●
IPv4 addresses
An IPv4 address consists of 4 bytes. Each byte is represented in decimal, with a dot
separating it from the previous one, refer to the section "Structure of an IPv4 address
(Page 48)"
Note
With leading zeros, the numbers are interpreted as octal numbers, e.g.: 192.168.070.071
→ 192.168.56.57.
