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.
Stack-unit interfaces support Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic over the 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 EMC Networking OS Behavior: The system uses a single MAC address for all physical interfaces.
Configuration Task List for Physical Interfaces
By default, all interfaces are operationally disabled and traffic does not pass through them.
The following section includes information about optional configurations for physical interfaces:
Overview of Layer Modes
Configuring Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode
Configuring Layer 2 (Interface) Mode
Management Interfaces
Auto-Negotiation on Ethernet Interfaces
Adjusting the Keepalive Timer
Clearing Interface Counters
40G to 1G Breakout Cable Adaptor
As a default configuration, you can see the speed CLI with 10M, 100M and 1000M options for all the front-end interfaces. By
default, the show config command does not display the default speed. If you change the speed to 100 and then to 1000, it
is displayed in the show config output or if you OIR 10G port with speed 1000 with 40G to 1G cable, it displays the default
speed.
You can use the speed command only to configure on the management optic ports alone. Without any optic, if you configure
the speed, the configuration is assigned as the port speed to support Provisioning through BMP.
User viewable Logs:
Logs for optic insertion and removal are same as QSFP optics. You can use the show inventory media command to check
the optic type and the show interface transceiver command to view the optic properties.
