Chapter 10 Configuring Interface Characteristics Using Interface Configuration Mode You can also configure a range of interfaces (see the "Configuring a Range of Interfaces" section on page 10-6). To configure a physical interface (port), specify the interface type, module number, and switch port number, and enter interface configuration mode. • Type-Fast Ethernet (fastethernet or fa) for 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet (gigabitethernet or gi) for 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports, or small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. • Module number-The module or slot number on the switch (always 0 on the Catalyst 2960 switch). • Port number-The interface number on the switch. The port numbers always begin at 1, starting with the far left port when facing the front of the switch, for example, fastethernet0/1 or gigabitethernet0/1. If there is more than one interface type (for example, 10/100 ports and SFP module ports, the port numbers restart with the second interface type: gigabitethernet0/1. For a switch with 10/100/1000 ports and SFP module ports, SFP module ports are numbered consecutively following the 10/100/1000 ports. You can identify physical interfaces by physically checking the interface location on the switch. You can also use the show privileged EXEC commands to display information about a specific interface or all the interfaces on the switch. The remainder of this chapter primarily provides physical interface configuration procedures. Procedures for Configuring Interfaces These general instructions apply to all interface configuration processes. Step 1 Step 2 Enter the configure terminal command at the privileged EXEC prompt: Switch# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)# Enter the interface global configuration command. Identify the interface type and the number of the connector. In this example, Gigabit Ethernet port 1 is selected: Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1 Switch(config-if)# Note You do not need to add a space between the interface type and interface number. For example, in the preceding line, you can specify either gigabitethernet 0/1, gigabitethernet0/1, gi 0/1, or gi0/1. Step 3 Follow each interface command with the interface configuration commands that the interface requires. The commands that you enter define the protocols and applications that will run on the interface. The commands are collected and applied to the interface when you enter another interface command or enter end to return to privileged EXEC mode. You can also configure a range of interfaces by using the interface range or interface range macro global configuration commands. Interfaces configured in a range must be the same type and must be configured with the same feature options. OL-8603-04 Catalyst 2960 Switch Software Configuration Guide 10-5
