Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of Ethernet ports and describes the tasks involved in configuring Ethernet
ports through the SmartWare.
Ethernet port configuration task list
To configure Ethernet ports, perform the tasks described in the following sections. Most of the task are required to
have an operable Ethernet port, some of the tasks are optional, but might be required for your application.
• Entering the Ethernet port configuration mode (see
• Configuring medium for an Ethernet port (see
• Configuring Ethernet encapsulation type for an Ethernet port (see
• Binding an Ethernet port to an IP interface (see
• Configuring multiple IP addresses on the Ethernet ports (see
• Configuring a VLAN (see
• Configuring layer 2 CoS to service-class mapping for an Ethernet port (advanced) (see
• Closing an Ethernet port (see
Entering the Ethernet port configuration mode
To enter port configuration mode and begin configuring an Ethernet port, enter the command
slot port in administrator execution mode. The keywords slot and port represent the number of the respective
physical entity.
Configuring medium for an Ethernet port
All Ethernet ports are configured by default to auto-sense both the port speed and the duplex mode. This is the
recommended configuration. Command options are (if supported by the platform):
• 10—for 10 Mbps
• 100—for 100 Mbps
• 1000—for Gigabit Ethernet
• auto—for auto-sense the port speed
• half—for half-duplex
• full—for full-duplex
This procedure describes how to configure the medium for the Ethernet port on slot and port
Mode: Configure
Step
1 node(cfg)#port ethernet slot port
2 node(prt-eth)[slot/port]#medium (10 |
100 | 1000 | auto} (half | full)
