Configuring Supervisor Engine 720 Ports Supervisor Engine 720 port 1 has a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) connector and has no unique configuration options. Supervisor Engine 720 port 2 has an RJ-45 connector and an SFP connector (default). To use the RJ-45 connector, you must change the configuration. To configure port 2 on a Supervisor Engine 720 to use either the RJ-45 connector or the SFP connector, perform this task: Command Step 1 Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet slot/2 Step 2 Router(config-if)# media-type {rj45 | sfp} Router(config-if)# no media-type Purpose Selects the Ethernet port to be configured. Selects the connector to use. Reverts to the default configuration (SFP). This example shows how to configure port 2 on a Supervisor Engine 720 in slot 5 to use the RJ-45 connector: Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 5/2 Router(config-if)# media-type rj45 Configuring and Monitoring the Switch Fabric Functionality These sections describe how to configure the switching mode and monitor the switch fabric functionality that is included on a Supervisor Engine 720: • Understanding How the Switch Fabric Functionality Works, page 4-3 • Configuring the Switch Fabric Functionality, page 4-4 • Monitoring the Switch Fabric Functionality, page 4-4 Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide, Release 12.2SXF 4-2 OL-3999-08
