Setting Up Layer 2 Switching
Step
Task
1
Select all ports.
This example assumes that the stack ID is 0.
The prompt changes to:
Force10(conf-if-range-gi-0/1-24)#
2
Enable the selected ports for Layer 2 switching.
3
Set the maximum Link MTU (frame size) to handle
Jumbo frames.
4
Administratively enable all ports.
5
Return to CONFIGURATION mode.
6
Repeat the above sequence for the 10GbE ports.
7
After physically connecting the ports, use the
ip interfaces brief
administrative status (the Status field in the output)
and link status (the Protocol field).
The following screenshot illustrates the use of these commands (use a space before and after the hyphen):
Force10(config)#interface range gigabitethernet 0/1 - 24
Force10(conf-if-range-gi-0/1-48)#switchport
Force10(conf-if-range-gi-0/1-48)#mtu 9252
Force10(conf-if-range-gi-0/1-48)#no shutdown
