Configuring Ethernet interfaces

The switch series supports Ethernet interfaces, management Ethernet interfaces, Console interfaces, and
USB interfaces. For the interface types and the number of interfaces supported by a switch model, see the
installation guide.
This document describes how to configure management Ethernet interfaces and Ethernet interfaces.

Configuring a management Ethernet interface

A management interface uses an RJ-45 connector. You can connect the interface to a PC for software
loading and system debugging, or connect it to a remote NMS for remote system management.
To configure a management Ethernet interface:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter management
Ethernet interface view.
3. (Optional.) Set the
interface description.
4. (Optional.) Shut down
the interface.

Ethernet interface naming conventions

The Ethernet interfaces are named in the format of interface type A/B/C. The letters that follow the
interface type represent the following elements:
A—IRF member ID. If the switch is not in an IRF fabric, A is 1 by default.
•
• B—Card slot number. B is always 0, which indicates the interface is a fixed interface of the switch.
C—Port index.
•
A 10-GE breakout interface split from a 40-GE interface is named in the format of interface type
A/B/C:D. A/B/C is the interface number of the 40-GE interface and D is the number of the 10-GE
breakout interface, which is in the range of 1 to 4. For information about splitting a 40-GE interface, see
"Splitting a 40-GE interface and combining 10-GE breakout

Configuring common Ethernet interface settings

This section describes the settings common to Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces. You can set an
Ethernet port as a Layer 3 interface by using the port link-mode route command. For more information,
