Configuring a Port Alias
The interfaces alias command is used to configure an alias (i.e., description) for a single port. (You
cannot configure an entire switch or a range of ports.) To use this command, enter interfaces followed by
the slot number, a slash (/), the port number, alias, and the text description, which can be up to 40 charac-
ters long.
For example, to configure an alias of “ip_phone1” for port 3 on slot 2 enter:
-> interfaces 2/3 alias ip_phone1
Note. Spaces must be contained within quotes (e.g., “IP Phone 1”).
Configuring Maximum Frame Sizes
The interfaces max frame command can be used to configure the maximum frame size (in bytes) on a
specific port, a range of ports, or all ports on a switch. Maximum values for this command range from
1518 bytes (Ethernet packets) for Ethernet or Fast Ethernet ports to 9216 bytes (Gigabit Ethernet packets)
for Gigabit Ethernet ports.
To configure the maximum frame size on an entire slot, enter interfaces followed by the slot number, max
frame, and the frame size in bytes. For example, to set the maximum frame size on slot 2 to 9216 bytes,
enter:
-> interfaces 2 max frame 9216
To configure the maximum frame size on a single port, enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a
slash (/), the port number, max frame, and the frame size in bytes. For example, to set the maximum
frame size on port 3 on slot 2 to 9216 bytes, enter:
-> interfaces 2/3 max frame 9216
To configure the maximum frame size on a range of ports, enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a
slash (/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, max frame, and the frame size in bytes.
For example, to set the maximum frame size on ports 1 through 3 on slot 2 to 9216 bytes, enter:
-> interfaces 2/1-3 max frame 9216
Configuring Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM)
Digital Diagnostics Monitoring allows the switch to monitor the status of a transceiver by reading the
information contained on the transceiver's EEPROM. The transceiver can display Actual, Warning-Low,
Warning-High, Alarm-Low and Alarm-High for the following:
• Temperature
• Supply Voltage
• Current
• Output Power
• Input Power
