Using Interface Configuration Mode; Procedures For Configuring Interfaces - Cisco 3020 - Catalyst Blade Switch Configuration Manual

Using Interface Configuration Mode

Using Interface Configuration Mode
The switch supports these interface types:
•
•
•
You can also configure a range of interfaces (see the
page
To configure a physical interface (port), specify the interface type, module number, and switch port number,
and enter interface configuration mode.
•
•
•
You can identify physical interfaces by physically checking the interface location on the switch. 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.

Procedures for Configuring Interfaces

These general instructions apply to all interface configuration processes.
Enter the configure terminal command at the privileged EXEC prompt:
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#
Enter the interface global configuration command. Identify the interface type and the number of the
Step 2
connector. In this example, Gigabit Ethernet port 1 is selected:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)#

8-6
Physical ports—switch ports
VLANs—switch virtual interfaces
Port channels—EtherChannel interfaces
8-7).
Type—Gigabit Ethernet (gigabitethernet or gi) for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports or small
form-factor pluggable (SFP) module Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Module number—The module or slot number on the switch (always 0 on the Cisco Catalyst Blade
Switch 3020).
Port number— the interface number on the switch. The port numbers always begin at 1, starting with
the internal blade server-facing interfaces. The external interfaces on the front panel of the switch
start at 17. The SFP module ports are numbered left to right. The external RJ-45 ports are numbered
from top to bottom and from left to right. The first RJ-45 port, 17, is on the top left. RJ-45 port 18
is on the bottom left.
You do not need to add a space between the interface type and interface number. For example,
in the preceding line, you can specify either gigabitethernet 0/1, gigabitethernet0/1, gi 0/1, or
gi0/1.
