Configuring Ethernet Interfaces
Configuring the Debounce Timer
You can enable the debounce timer for Ethernet ports by specifying a debounce time (in milliseconds)
or disable the timer by specifying a debounce time of 0.
You can show the debounce times for all of the Ethernet ports by using the show interface debounce
command.
To enable or disable the debounce timer, perform this task:
This example shows how to enable the debounce timer and set the debounce time to 1000 milliseconds
for an Ethernet interface:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# link debounce time 1000
This example shows how to disable the debounce timer for an Ethernet interface:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# link debounce time 0
This command can only be applied to a physical Ethernet interface.
Configuring the Description Parameter
To provide textual interface descriptions for the Ethernet ports, perform this task:
This example shows how to set the interface description to “Server 3 Interface”.
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/3
switch(config-if)# description Server 3 Interface
Command Purpose
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# interface type slot/port
Enters interface configuration mode for the specified
interface.
Step 3
switch(config-if)# link debounce time
milliseconds
Enables the debounce timer for the amount of time (1
to 5000 milliseconds) specified.
Disables the debounce timer if you specify 0
milliseconds.
Command Purpose
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# interface type slot/port
Enters interface configuration mode for the specified
interface.
Step 3
switch(config-if)# description test
Specifies the description for the interface.
