To view only configured interfaces, use the show interfaces configured command in the EXEC Privilege mode. In the
previous example, TengigabitEthernet interface 1/5 is in Layer 3 mode because an IP address has been assigned to it and the
interface’s status is operationally up.
To determine which physical interfaces are available, use the show running-config command in EXEC mode. This
command displays all physical interfaces available on the line cards.

Enabling a Physical Interface
After determining the type of physical interfaces available, to enable and configure the interfaces, enter INTERFACE mode by
using the interface interface slot/port command.
1. Enter the keyword interface then the type of interface and slot/port information.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface interface
● For the Management interface, enter the keyword ManagementEthernet then the slot/port information.
● For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
● For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
2. Enable the interface.
INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
To confirm that the interface is enabled, use the show config command in INTERFACE mode. To leave INTERFACE mode,
use the exit command or end command. You cannot delete a physical interface.
Physical Interfaces
The Management Ethernet interface is a single RJ-45 Fast Ethernet port on a switch.
The interface provides dedicated management access to the system.
Line card interfaces support Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic over 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. These
interfaces can also become part of virtual interfaces such as virtual local area networks (VLANs) or port channels.
For more information about VLANs, refer to Bulk Configuration. For more information on port channels, refer to Port Channel
Interfaces.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: The Z9500 system uses a single MAC address for all physical interfaces.
