To confirm that the interface is enabled, use the show config command in the INTERFACE mode. To leave the INTERFACE mode, use the exit command or end command. The user can not delete a physical interface. Physical Interfaces The Management Ethernet interface, is a single RJ-45 Fast Ethernet port on the Route Processor Module (RPM) of the C-Series and E-Series and on each unit of the S55; it provides dedicated management access to the system. The other S-Series (non-S55) systems supported by FTOS do not have this dedicated management interface, but you can use any Ethernet port configured with an IP address and route. Line card interfaces support Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic over the 10/100/1000, Gigabit, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. SONET interfaces with PPP encapsulation support Layer 3 traffic. These interfaces (except SONET interfaces with PPP encapsulation) can also become part of virtual interfaces such as VLANs or port channels. Link detection on ExaScale line cards is interrupt-based rather than poll-based, which enables ExaScale cards to bring up and take down links faster. For more information on VLANs, see Bulk Configuration on page 306 and for more information on port channels, see Port Channel Interfaces on page 294. FTOS Behavior: S-Series systems use a single MAC address for all physical interfaces while E-Series and C-Series use a unique MAC address for each physical interface, though this results in no functional difference between these platforms.

Interfaces

To confirm that the interface is enabled, use the

show config

command in the INTERFACE mode.

To leave the INTERFACE mode, use the

exit

command or

end

command.

The user can not delete a physical interface.

Physical Interfaces

The

Management Ethernet interface

, is a single RJ-45 Fast Ethernet port on the Route Processor Module

(RPM) of the C-Series and E-Series and on each unit of the S55; it provides dedicated management access

to the system. The other S-Series (non-S55) systems supported by FTOS do not have this dedicated

management interface, but you can use any Ethernet port configured with an IP address and route.

Line card interfaces support Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic over the 10/100/1000, Gigabit, and 10-Gigabit

Ethernet interfaces. SONET interfaces with PPP encapsulation support Layer 3 traffic. These interfaces

(except SONET interfaces with PPP encapsulation) can also become part of virtual interfaces such as

VLANs or port channels.

Link detection on ExaScale line cards is interrupt-based rather than poll-based, which enables ExaScale

cards to bring up and take down links faster.

For more information on VLANs, see

Bulk Configuration on page 306

and for more information on port

channels, see

Port Channel Interfaces on page 294

Configuration Task List for Physical Interfaces

By default, all interfaces are operationally disabled and traffic will not pass through them.

The following section includes information about optional configurations for physical interfaces:

•

Overview of Layer Modes on page 288

•

Configure Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode on page 288

•

Management Interfaces on page 290

•

Auto-Negotiation on Ethernet Interfaces on page 321

•

Adjust the keepalive timer on page 323

•

Clear interface counters on page 327

FTOS Behavior:

S-Series systems use a single MAC address for all physical interfaces while

E-Series and C-Series use a unique MAC address for each physical interface, though this results in no

functional difference between these platforms.
