Volume 2-Interface and Hardware Components / Chapter 9-Interface Configuration Identification of an Interface An Introduction to Interface Configuration This chapter describes the type of interfaces supported on the device, the features that can be configured on physical interfaces, and the common features that can be configured on any interface. Identification of an Interface An interface can be a physical port, VLAN, or channel-group. The Switch supports a number of different interfaces, which are listed below: • Switch Port Interface • Port Channel Interface • VLAN Interface • Out-of-Band (OOB) Management Port Interface Switch Port Interface For a physical port in an Ethernet switch, an interface-ID appears in the following format: ethx.y • x-For a standalone switch, this number is always 1. This can also represent the unit number (stackable system) or slot number (chassis system). • y-The interface number on the Switch. The port numbers always begin at 1, starting on the left, when facing the front of the switch, for example, eth1.1, eth1.2. Port Channel Interface A channel group (link aggregated) interface, uses the following format: port-channelGROUP-NUM For example a channel group that has a group number of 3 would appear as port-channel3. VLAN Interface A VLAN interface always uses the following format: vlanVLAN-ID For example a VLAN that has an ID of 2 would appear as vlan2. Out-of-Band (OOB) Management Port Interface The OOB management port interface always uses the following format: mgmt-if DGS-6600 Configuration Guide 76
