Chapter 9 Configuring Interfaces
Configuring Layer 3 Interfaces
This example shows how to enable auto-MDIX on a port:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Switch(config-if)# speed auto
Switch(config-if)# duplex auto
Switch(config-if)# mdix auto
Switch(config-if)# end
Adding a Description for an Interface
You can add a description about an interface to help you remember its function. The description appears
in the output of these privileged EXEC commands: show configuration
, show running-config, and
show interfaces.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to add a description for an interface:
Use the no description interface configuration command to delete the description.
This example shows how to add a description on a port and how to verify the description:
Switch# config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# description Connects to Marketing
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch# show interfaces gigabitethernet0/2 description
Interface Status Protocol Description
Gi 0/2 admin down down Connects to Marketing
Configuring Layer 3 Interfaces
The switch must be running the metro IP access image to support Layer 3 interfaces. The Cisco ME
switch supports these types of Layer 3 interfaces:
• SVIs: You should configure SVIs for any VLANs for which you want to route traffic. SVIs are
created when you enter a VLAN ID following the interface vlan global configuration command. To
delete an SVI, use the no interface vlan global configuration command. You cannot delete interface
VLAN 1.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id Specify the interface for which you are adding a description, and enter
interface configuration mode.
Step 3
description string Add a description (up to 240 characters) for an interface.
Step 4
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show interfaces interface-id description
or
show running-config
Verify your entry.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
