Entering an interface type

You can enter an interface type in one of the following formats:

• Full spelling of the interface type.

• An abbreviation that uniquely identifies the interface type.

• Acronym of the interface type.

For a command line, all interface types are case insensitive. Table 2 shows the full spellings and acronyms of interface types.

For example, to use the interface command to enter the view of interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, you can enter the command line in the following formats:

• interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/1

• interface ten 1/0/1

• interface xge 1/0/1

Spaces between the interface types and interfaces are not required.
