The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the MPS-14/2 module do not support EtherChannel.
Note
Gigabit Ethernet ports on any IPS module or MPS-14/2 module should not be configured in the same
Tip
Ethernet broadcast domain as the management Ethernet port—they should be configured in a different
broadcast domain, either by using separate standalone hubs or switches or by using separate VLANs.

Switch 1
The port on the Ethernet switch to which the MDS Gigabit Ethernet interface is connected should be
Note
configured as a host port (also known as access port) instead of a switch port. Spanning tree
configuration for that port (on the ethernet switch) should disabled. This helps avoid the delay in the
management port coming up due to delay from Ethernet spanning tree processing that the Ethernet
switch would run if enabled. FoR Cisco Ethernet switches, use either the switchport host command in
IOS is or the set port host in Catalyst OS. Refer to the configuration guide for your Ethernet switch.
To configure the Gigabit Ethernet interface for the example in

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Enters the interface configuration mode on the
Gigabit Ethernet interface (slot 2, port 2).
Enters the IP address (10.1.1.100) and subnet
mask (255.255.255.0) for the Gigabit Ethernet
interface.
Enables the interface.
