Once the node number is provisioned, the network ports are configured as follows:
• If the node is set to 1, then Net 1 is in Network Interface mode, and Net 2 is unused
• If the node is greater than 1, then Net 1 is in Uplink mode, and Net 2 is unused
To designate Net 2 as the default interface, complete the following procedure:
1. From the Enable prompt, type configure terminal , and press E
2. From the Global Configuration prompt, type ethernet default interface
NOTE
• If Net 2 is designated as the default Ethernet interface, then Net 1 becomes
unused.
• If it is to be used, LACP still needs to be enabled on the active ports.
Port Mode Configuration Examples
This section displays a list of port mode configuration examples.
Example #1
The steps to turn up a system with Net 1 as the Network Interface and Net 2 as Unused (from
the defaults) are:
#configure terminal
(config)#node number 1
(config)#exit
#
Example #2
The steps to turn up a system with Net 1 as the Network Interface and Net 2 as a Downlink
are:
#configure terminal
(config)#node number 1
(config)#interface gigabit-ethernet 1/A/2
(config gig-eth 1/A/2)#
(config gig-eth 1/A/2)#
(config)#exit
#
Example #3
The steps to turn up a system with Net 1 as Uplink and Net 2 as Unused are:
# configure terminal
(config)# node number 2
(config)# exit
