Configuring Ethernet Ports

As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet

before the slot number. For example, to configure an alias of "ip_phone1" for port 3 on slot 2 and docu-

ment the port as Gigabit Ethernet, enter:

-> interfaces gigaethernet 2/3 alias ip_phone1

Configuring Maximum Frame Sizes

interfaces max frame

specific port, a range of ports, or all ports on a switch. Maximum values for this command range from

1518 bytes (Ethernet packets) for Ethernet or Fast Ethernet ports to 9216 bytes (Gigabit Ethernet packets)

for Gigabit Ethernet ports.

To configure the maximum frame size on an entire slot, enter interfaces followed by the slot number,

max frame, and the frame size in bytes. For example, to set the maximum frame size on slot 2 to 9216

bytes, enter:

-> interfaces 2 max frame 9216

To configure the maximum frame size on a single port, enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a

slash (/), the port number, max frame, and the frame size in bytes. For example, to set the maximum

frame size on port 3 on slot 2 to 9216 bytes, enter:

-> interfaces 2/3 max frame 9216

To configure the maximum frame size on a range of ports, enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a

slash (/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, max frame, and the frame size in bytes.

For example, to set the maximum frame size on ports 1 through 3 on slot 2 to 9216 bytes, enter:

-> interfaces 2/1-3 max frame 9216

As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet

before the slot number. For example, to set the maximum frame size on port 3 on slot 2 to 9216 bytes and

document the port as Gigabit Ethernet, enter:

-> interfaces gigaethernet 2/3 max frame 9216
