Configuring Ethernet interfaces
The switch series supports Ethernet interfaces, management Ethernet interfaces, and console interfaces.
For the support for the interface types and interface numbers, see the installation guide.
This chapter describes the configurations for Ethernet interfaces and the management Ethernet interface.
Configuring the management Ethernet interface
The switch provides one management Ethernet interface. This interface uses an RJ-45 connector. You can
connect it to a PC for software loading and system debugging.
To configure the management Ethernet interface:

3. (Optional.) Change the
description of the
management Ethernet
interface.
description text
By default, the description of the
management Ethernet interface is
M-GigabitEthernet0/0/0 Interface.
4. (Optional.) Shut down the
management Ethernet
interface.
shutdown
By default, the management Ethernet
interface is up.
5. (Optional.) Restore the default
settings for the management
Ethernet interface.

Ethernet interface naming conventions
For a switch in an IRF fabric, its interfaces are numbered in the format of interface type A/B/C/D. For a
switch which is not in any IRF fabric, its interfaces are numbered in the format of interface type B/C/D,
where the following definitions apply:
• A—Number of the switch in an IRF fabric
• B—Slot number of the card in the switch
• C—Sub-slot number on a card
• D—Number of an interface on a card
Configuring common Ethernet interface settings
This section describes the settings common to Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces. For more
information about the settings specific to Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces, see "Configuring a
Laye
r 2 Ethernet interface" and "Configuring a Layer 3 Ethernet interface."
