Chapter 5 Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Switching

Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The following sections describe how to configure Gigabit Ethernet switching ports on the Catalyst
enterprise LAN switches.
Note For information on configuring Gigabit EtherChannel, see
and Gigabit EtherChannel."

Assigning Gigabit Ethernet Port Names

You can assign names to the ports on Gigabit Ethernet modules to facilitate switch administration.
To assign a name to a port, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1
Assign a name to a port.
Step 2
Verify that the port name is configured.
This example shows how to assign the name for ports 2/1 and 2/2 and how to verify that the port names
are configured correctly:
Console> (enable) set port name 2/1 Backbone Connection
Port 2/1 name set.
Console> (enable) set port name 2/2 Wiring Closet
Port 2/2 name set.
Console> (enable) show port 2

Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Port Priority Levels

You can configure the priority level for each port. When two ports simultaneously request access to the
switching bus, the switch uses the priority level to determine the order in which the ports
get access.
