Chapter 12 Configuring Interface Characteristics
Using the Ethernet Management Port (Catalyst 2960-S Only)
This example shows how to create a multiple-interface macro named macro1:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# define interface-range macro1 gigabitethernet1/0/1 - 2,
gigabitethernet1/0/1 - 2
Switch(config)# end
This example shows how to enter interface-range configuration mode for the interface-range
macro enet_list:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range macro enet_list
Switch(config-if-range)#
This example shows how to delete the interface-range macro enet_list and to verify that it was deleted.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# no define interface-range enet_list
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show run | include define
Switch#

Understanding the Ethernet Management Port
The Ethernet management port, also referred to as the Fa0 or fastethernet0 port, is a Layer 3 host port
to which you can connect a PC. You can use the Ethernet management port instead of the switch console
port for network management. When managing a switch stack, connect the PC to the Ethernet
management port on a Catalyst 2960-S stack member.
When connecting a PC to the Ethernet management port, you must assign an IP address.
