Configuring basic settings of an Ethernet interface
Configuring an Ethernet interface
Step | Command | Remarks |
---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter Ethernet interface view. | interface interface-type interface-number | N/A |
3. Set the interface description. | description text | The default setting is in the format of interface-name Interface. For example, Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1 Interface. |
4. Set the duplex mode of the Ethernet interface. | duplex { auto | full | half } | The default setting is auto for Ethernet interfaces. Copper ports operating at 1000 Mbps or 10 Gbps and fiber ports do not support the half keyword. |
5. Set the port speed. | speed { 1000 | 10000 | 40000 | auto } | The default setting is auto for Ethernet interfaces. Support for the keywords depends on the interface type. For more information, execute the speed? command in interface view. |
6. Configure the expected bandwidth of the interface. | bandwidth bandwidth-value | By default, the expected bandwidth (in kbps) is the interface baud rate divided by 1000. |
7. Restore the default settings for the Ethernet interface. | default | N/A |
8. Bring up the Ethernet interface. | undo shutdown | By default, Ethernet interfaces are in up state. |
Configuring an Ethernet subinterface
Step | Command | Remarks |
---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Create an Ethernet subinterface and enter its view. | interface interface-type interface-number.subnumber | N/A |
3. Set the subinterface description. | description text | The default setting is in the format of interface-name Interface. For example, Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1.1 Interface. |
4. Restore the default settings for the Ethernet subinterface. | default | N/A |
5. Configure the expected bandwidth for the interface. | bandwidth bandwidth-value | By default, the expected bandwidth (in kbps) is the interface baud rate divided by 1000. |
6. Bring up the Ethernet subinterface. | undo shutdown | By default, Ethernet subinterfaces are in up state. |
