Using Interface Configuration Mode
Using Interface Configuration Mode
The switch supports these interface types:
•
•
•
You can also configure a range of interfaces (see the
page
To configure a physical interface (port), specify the interface type, stack member number (only
stacking-capable switches), module number, and switch port number, and enter interface configuration
mode.
•
•
•
•
You can identify physical interfaces by physically checking the interface location on the switch. You can
also use the show privileged EXEC commands to display information about a specific interface or all
the interfaces on the switch. The remainder of this chapter primarily provides physical interface
configuration procedures.
These are examples of how to identify interfaces on a stacking-capable switch:

11-9).
Type—Gigabit Ethernet (gigabitethernet or gi) for 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports, 10-Gigabit
Ethernet (tengigabitethernet or te) for 10,000 Mb/s, or small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (gigabitethernet or gi).
Stack member number—The number that identifies the switch within the stack. The switch number
range is 1 to 9 and is assigned the first time the switch initializes. The default switch number, before
it is integrated into a switch stack, is 1. When a switch 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 switch.
For information about stack member numbers, see the
page
7-8.
Module number—The module or slot number on the switch that is always 0.
Port number—The interface number on the switch. The internal 1000 Mb/s ports are numbered
consecutively from 1 to 16, for example, gigabitethernet 1/0/1.
On a switch with Cisco TwinGig Converter Modules in the 10-Gigabit Ethernet module slots, the
port numbers restart with the 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports: tengigabitethernet1/0/1. If the switch has
Cisco dual SFP X2 converter modules in the 10-Gigabit Ethernet module slots, the external
10/100/1000 ports numbers are from 17 to 20 (for example, gigabitethernet 1/0/18), and the SFP
module ports are numbered from 21 to 24 (for example, gigabitethernet1/0/23).
On a switch with Cisco dual SFP X2 converter modules in the 10-Gigabit Ethernet module slots, the
external 10/100/1000 ports are numbered from 17 to 20 (for example, gigabitethernet1/0/18), and
the SFP module ports are numbered from 21 to 24 (for example, gigabitethernet1/0/22).
To configure 10/100/1000 port 4 on a standalone switch, enter this command:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/4
To configure 10-Gigabit Ethernet port 1 on a standalone switch, enter this command:
Switch(config)# interface tengigabitethernet1/0/1
To configure 10-Gigabit Ethernet port on stack member 3, enter this command:
Switch(config)# interface tengigabitethernet3/0/1
