Viewing Layer 3 Interface Information

Note: Layer 3 interfaces can only be created with the Layer 3 Package of SFTOS. Use the
show version command to determine what package is installed. See
To enable Layer 3 traffic on a particular interface, use the
enable routing for the system, then add an IP address to the selected interface using the
command — in Interface Config mode for a port or port channel, and in Interface VLAN mode for a
VLAN. For details, see
In all interface types except VLANs, the
interface. Layer 2 VLANs can only be disabled by disabling each port in the VLAN. A Layer 3 VLAN can
be disabled by removing its IP address. Layer 2 traffic on the VLAN is unaffected by this action.
Before you configure or enter a Layer 3 protocol mode (for example, OSPF), you must put at least one
interface in Layer 3 mode, but not necessarily enabled. To inspect the system for Layer 3 interfaces, use the
show ip interface brief

Configuring Physical Interfaces

The following basic configuration tasks for physical interfaces are discussed in this chapter:
• Enabling an Interface on page 120 (mandatory)
• Configuring Speed and Duplex Mode on page 120 (optional)
• Clearing Interface Counters on page 122 (optional)
• Enabling Power over Ethernet Ports (PoE) on page 123 (optional)
As described in
switches: 10/100/1000 Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet (1G), and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10G). The management
Ethernet interface is another S-Series interface, which is enabled on some S-Series switch types as a
dedicated port and on all S-Series switches as a type of configuration on the management VLAN. This
interface type provides IP-based management access to the S-Series.
By default, all physical interfaces are disabled to traffic and set to auto-negotiate speed and duplex mode.
On 10/100/1000 ports and 1G ports, you can manually set the speed and duplex mode. You cannot
manually set the speed and duplex mode of 10G ports.
