Information About Interface Characteristics

Before a switch can relay frames from one data link to another, you must define the characteristics of
the interfaces through which the frames are received and sent. The configured interfaces can be Ethernet
(physical) interfaces, virtual Ethernet interfaces, and the management interface (mgmt0),.
Each interface has the following:
• Administrative Configuration
The administrative configuration does not change unless you modify it. This configuration has
attributes that you can configure in administrative mode.
Operational state
•
The operational state of a specified attribute, such as the interface speed. This state cannot be
changed and is read-only. Some values may not be valid when the interface is down (such as the
operation speed).
For a complete description of port modes, administrative states, and operational states, see the Cisco
Nexus 1000V Interface Configuration Guide, Release 4.2(1)SV2(1.1).
