Step 2 Example: switch# configure terminal switch(config)# interface interface Example: switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1 switch(config-if)# switch(config)# interface mgmt0 switch(config-if)# Step 3 description text Step 4 Example: switch(config-if)# description Ethernet port 3 on module 1. switch(config-if)# show interface interface Step 5 Example: switch(config)# show interface ethernet 2/1 exit Specifies the interface that you are configuring. You can specify the interface type and identity. For an Ethernet port, use "ethernet slot/port." For the management interface, use "mgmt0." Example 1 shows how to specify the slot 2 port, 1 Ethernet interface. Example 2 shows how to specify the management interface. Specifies the description for the interface. The description is a maximum of 80 characters. Displays the interface status, which includes the description parameter. Exits the interface mode. Step 6 Example: switch(config-if)# exit switch(config)# copy running-config startup-config Example: switch(config)# copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Copies the running configuration to the startup configuration. This example shows how to set the interface description to Ethernet port 24 on module 3: switch# configure terminal switch(config)# interface ethernet 3/24 switch(config-if)# description server1 switch(config-if)# Configuring the Beacon Mode You can enable the beacon mode for an Ethernet port to flash its LED to confirm its physical location.
