Chapter 2 Configuring Basic Interface Parameters
Configuring the Basic Interface Parameters
DETAILED STEPS
This example shows how to configure the system jumbo MTU as 8000 bytes and how to change the MTU
specification for an interface that was configured with the previous jumbo MTU size:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# system jumbomtu 8000
switch(config)# show running-config
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/2
switch(config-if)# switchport
switch(config-if)# mtu 4608
switch(config-if)#
Configuring the Bandwidth
You can configure the bandwidth for Ethernet interfaces. The physical level uses an unchangeable
bandwidth of 1 GB, but you can configure a value of 1 to 10,000,000 Kb for Level 3 protocols.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Example:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
system jumbomtu size
Example:
switch(config)# system jumbomtu 8000
switch(config)#
Specifies the system jumbo MTU size. Use
an even number between 1500 and 9216.
Step 3
show running-config all
Example:
switch(config)# show running-config all | include
jumbomtu
Displays the current operating
configuration, which includes the system
jumbo MTU size.
Step 4
interface type slot/port
Example:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)#
Specifies an interface to configure and
enters the interface configuration mode.
Step 5
mtu size
Example:
switch(config-if)# mtu 1500
switch(config-if)#
For a Layer 2 interface, specifies either the
default MTU size (1500) or the system
jumbo MTU size that you specified earlier.
For a Layer 3 interface, specifies any even
size between 576 and 9216.
Step 6
exit
Example:
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)#
Exits the interface mode.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch(config)# copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Copies the running
configuration to the startup configuration.
