Assigning a port name
A port name can be assigned to help identify interfaces on the network. You can assign a port
name to physical ports, virtual routing interfaces, and loopback interfaces.
To assign a name to a port, enter the following commands.
Virtual ADX(config)# interface e 2
Virtual ADX(config-if-2)# port-name Marsha Markey
Syntax: port-name text
The text parameter is an alphanumeric string. The name can be 255 characters long. The name
can contain blanks. You do not need to use quotation marks around the string, even when it
contains blanks.
Disabling or re-enabling a port
The port can be made inactive (disable) or active (enable) by selecting the appropriate status
option. The default value for a port is enabled.
To disable port 8 on module 1 of a Layer 3 Switch, enter the following.
Virtual ADX(config)# interface e 1
Virtual ADX(config-if-1)# disable
Syntax: disable
Syntax: enable
You also can disable or re-enable a virtual routing interface. To do so, enter commands such as the
following.
Virtual ADX(config)# interface ve v1
Virtual ADX(config-vif-1)# disable
Syntax: disable
To re-enable a virtual routing interface, enter the enable command at the Interface configuration
level. For example, to re-enable virtual routing interface v1, enter the following command.
Virtual ADX(config-vif-1)# enable
Syntax: enable
Configuring basic Layer 2 parameters
The procedures in this section describe how to configure the following Layer 2 parameters.The
Layer 2 parameters are as follows:
•
Aging time for learned MAC address entries – refer to
•
Static, non-aging MAC address entries – refer to
“Configuring static MAC entries”
•
