Usage Guidelines You must use the no switchport command in the interface configuration mode to configure the interface
as a Layer 3 routed interface. When you configure the interface as a Layer 3 interface, all Layer 2 specific
configurations on this interface are deleted.
Use the switchport command to convert a Layer 3 interface into a Layer 2 interface. When you configure
the interface as a Layer 2 interface, all Layer 3 specific configurations on this interface are deleted.
Examples This example shows how to enter configuration mode for a Layer 3 Ethernet interface 1/5:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/5
switch(config-if)# no switchport
switch(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1/24
switch(config-if)#
This example shows how to enter configuration mode for a host interface on a Fabric Extender:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 101/1/1
