Port Characteristics 669
To enter Interface Configuration mode for a physical switch port, the
following information is required:
• Type — For physical switch ports, the type is Gigabit Ethernet
(gigabitethernet or gi) for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports or 10-Gibabit
Ethernet (tengigabitethernet or te) for 10,000 Mbps Ethernet ports.
• Stack member number— The unit number within the stack. The range is
1–12. The default unit number for a switch that has not been in a stack is
1. To view the member number assigned to each switch in a stack, use the
show switch command.
• Module (slot) number—For the Dell EMC Networking N3100-ON
Series , the slot number is always 0. The expansion module slot number is 1
for a module inserted in the left slot or 2 when it is in the right slot (when
viewing the back panel of the switch). For front-panel ports, the slot
number is 0.
• Port number—The number assigned to the port. For front-panel ports the
port number is written above or below each port. Odd-numbered ports are
on the top row, and even-numbered ports are on the bottom row. The port
numbers increase from left to right. For ports on the optional modules, the
port number is shown on the module and increments beginning with 1.
For example, to enter Interface Configuration mode for Gigabit Ethernet
port 10 on a switch that is not part of a stack, use the following command:
console(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/10
For example, to enter Interface Configuration mode for 10-Gigabit Ethernet
port 10, use the following command:
console(config)#interface tengigabitEthernet 1/0/10
To enter Interface Configuration mode for Gigabit Ethernet port 6 on stack
member 3, use the following command:
console(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 3/0/6
To enter Interface Configuration mode for port 1 on a 10-Gigabit Ethernet
module in the left slot, use the following command:
console(config)#interface tengigabitEthernet 1/1/1
NOTE: When you enter Interface Configuration mode, the command prompt
changes and identifies the interface. In the previous example, the command
prompt becomes console(config-if-Te1/0/10)#
