Interface Configuration Mode - Cisco WLC 5700 Series Interface Configuration Manual

Interface Configuration Mode

you configure both VLAN 20 and VLAN 30 with an SVI to which an IP address is assigned, packets can be
sent from Host A to Host B directly through the controller with no need for an external router.

Interface Configuration Mode
The controller supports these interface types:
• Physical ports—controller ports and routed ports
• VLANs—switch virtual interfaces
• Port channels—EtherChannel interfaces
You can also configure a range of interfaces.
To configure a physical interface (port), specify the interface type, stack member number (only stacking-capable
switches), module number, and controller port number, and enter interface configuration mode.
• Type—Gigabit Ethernet (gigabitethernet or gi) for 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports, 10-Gigabit Ethernet
• Stack member number—The number that identifies the controller within the stack. The controller number
• Module number—The module or slot number on the controller: switch (downlink) ports are 0, and uplink
• Port number—The interface number on the controller. The 10/100/1000 port numbers always begin at 1,

range is 1 to 9 and is assigned the first time the controller initializes. The default controller number,
before it is integrated into a controller stack, is 1. When a controller has been assigned a stack member
number, it keeps that number until another is assigned to it.
You can use the switch port LEDs in Stack mode to identify the stack member number of a controller.
