Default Ethernet Interface Configuration - Cisco WLC 5700 Series Interface Configuration Manual

Configuring Interfaces
You can identify physical interfaces by physically checking the interface location on the controller. You can
also use the show privileged EXEC commands to display information about a specific interface or all the
interfaces on the switch. The remainder of this chapter primarily provides physical interface configuration
procedures.
These are examples of how to identify interfaces on a stacking-capable controller:
• To configure 10/100/1000 port 4 on a standalone controller, enter this command:
• To configure 10-Gigabit Ethernet port 1 on a standalone controller, enter this command:
• To configure 10-Gigabit Ethernet port on stack member 3, enter this command:

Default Ethernet Interface Configuration

To configure Layer 2 parameters, if the interface is in Layer 3 mode, you must enter the switchport interface
configuration command without any parameters to put the interface into Layer 2 mode. This shuts down the
interface and then re-enables it, which might generate messages on the device to which the interface is
connected. When you put an interface that is in Layer 3 mode into Layer 2 mode, the previous configuration
information related to the affected interface might be lost, and the interface is returned to its default
configuration.
This table shows the Ethernet interface default configuration, including some features that apply only to Layer
2 interfaces.
