Configuring the Basic Interface Parameters
2. interface interface
DETAILED STEPS
Note You do not need to add a space between the interface type and identity (port or slot/port number)
For example, for the Ethernet slot 4, port 5 interface, you can specify either “ethernet 4/5” or
“ethernet4/5.” The management interface is either “mgmt0” or “mgmt 0.”
When you are in the interface configuration mode, the commands that you enter configure the interface
that you specified for this mode.
Configuring the Description
You can provide textual interface descriptions for the Ethernet and management interfaces. Descriptions
can be a maximum of 80 case-sensitive, alphanumeric characters.
