Configuring Ethernet interfaces
The switch series supports Ethernet interfaces, management Ethernet interfaces, Console interfaces, and
USB interfaces. For the interface types and the number of interfaces supported by a switch model, see the
installation guide.
This document describes how to configure management Ethernet interfaces and Ethernet interfaces.
Configuring a management Ethernet interface
A management interface uses an RJ-45 connector. You can connect the interface to a PC for software
loading and system debugging, or connect it to a remote NMS for remote system management.
Support for management Ethernet interfaces depends on the device model. For more information, see the
installation guide.
To configure a management Ethernet interface:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter management
Ethernet interface view.
interface M-GigabitEthernet
interface-number
N/A
3. (Optional.) Set the
interface description.
description text
The default setting is
M-GigabitEthernet0/0/0 Interface.
4. (Optional.) Shut down
the interface.
shutdown
By default, the management Ethernet
interface is up.
Ethernet interface naming conventions
The Ethernet interfaces are named in the format of interface type A/B/C. The letters that follow the
interface type represent the following elements:
• A—IRF member ID. If the switch is not in an IRF fabric, A is 1 by default.
• B—Card slot number. 0 indicates the interface is a fixed interface of the switch. 1 indicates the
interface is on expansion interface-card 1. 2 indicates the interface is on expansion interface-card
2.
• C—Port index.
A 10-GE breakout interface split from a 40-GE interface is named in the format of interface type
A/B/C:D. A/B/C is the interface number of the 40-GE interface and D is the number of the 10-GE
interface, which is in the range of 1 to 4. For information about splitting a 40-GE interface, see "
Splitting
a 40-GE interface and combining 10-GE breakout interfaces ."
