Dell C1048P Port Extender Networking Configuration Guide for the C9000 Series - Page 420

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. Port Pipes A port pipe is a Dell Networking-specific term for the hardware packet-processing elements that handle network traffic to and from a set of front-end I/O ports. The physical, front-end I/O ports are referred to as a port set. The system has 10 switch cards and each card has only one port pipe and 48 ports in each. • For ports connected through the port extender, you can have a maximum of 4 sessions system. • For ports directly attached to the chassis you can have a maximum of 4 sessions per port pipe. Refer to Port Numbering Convention for the exact port location on switch line cards. Setting the Speed and Duplex Mode of Ethernet Interfaces To discover whether the remote and local interface requires manual speed synchronization, and to manually synchronize them if necessary, use the following command sequence. 1 Determine the local interface status. Refer to the following example. EXEC Privilege mode show interfaces [interface | stack-unit stack-unit-number] status 2 Determine the remote interface status. EXEC mode or EXEC Privilege mode [Use the command on the remote system that is equivalent to the first command.] 3 Access CONFIGURATION mode. EXEC Privilege mode config 4 Access the port. CONFIGURATION mode interface interface-type 5 Set the local port speed. INTERFACE mode speed {10 | 100 | 1000 | 10000 | auto} Interfaces 420
