• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information. • For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information. 2 Enable the interface. INTERFACE mode 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. Stack-unit interfaces support Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic over the 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. Dell Networking OS Behavior: The system uses a single MAC address for all physical interfaces. Configuration Task List for Physical Interfaces By default, all interfaces are operationally disabled and traffic does not pass through them. The following section includes information about optional configurations for physical interfaces: • Overview of Layer Modes • Configuring Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode • Configuring Layer 2 (Interface) Mode • Management Interfaces • Auto-Negotiation on Ethernet Interfaces • Adjusting the Keepalive Timer • Clearing Interface Counters Overview of Layer Modes On all systems running Dell Networking OS, you can place physical interfaces, port channels, and VLANs in Layer 2 mode or Layer 3 mode. By default, VLANs are in Layer 2 mode. Table 39. Layer Modes Type of Interface 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 40 Gigabit Ethernet Possible Modes Layer 2 Layer 3 Requires Creation No Default State Shutdown (disabled) Management N/A No Loopback Layer 3 Yes Null interface N/A No Shutdown (disabled) No shutdown (enabled) Enabled Interfaces 361

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.

Stack-unit interfaces support Layer 2 and Layer 3

traﬃc

over the 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

Dell Networking OS Behavior

: The system uses a single MAC address for all physical interfaces.

Overview of Layer Modes

On all systems running Dell Networking OS, you can place physical interfaces, port channels, and VLANs in Layer 2 mode or Layer 3 mode.

By default, VLANs are in Layer 2 mode.
