486 Configuring Port Characteristics
What Interface Types are Supported?
The physical ports on the switch front panel include the out-of-band (OOB)
interface and Gigabit Ethernet switch ports. The OOB interface supports a
limited set of features and is for switch management only. The Ethernet
switch ports support many logical features that are often supported by logical
interfaces. The switch supports the following types of logical interfaces:
• Port-based VLANs — For more information, see
"Configuring VLANs
" on
page 571
.
• VLAN routing interfaces — For more information, see
"Configuring
Routing Interfaces
" on page 843
.
• Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs), which are also called port channels) —
For more information, see
"Configuring Link Aggregation
" on page 819
.
• Tunnels — For more information, see
"Configuring Routing Interfaces
"
on page 843
.
• Loopback interfaces — For more information, see
"Configuring Routing
Interfaces
" on page 843
.
The PowerConnect 7000 Series includes two Power over Ethernet (PoE) Plus
models: the PowerConnect 7024P and the PowerConnect 7048P. For
information about configuring PoE plus features for the ports, see "Managing
General System Settings" on page 271.
Two expansion slots are located on the back of the switch and can support the
following modules:
•10GBase module
•SFP+ module
•Stacking/10 GbE module
Each plug-in module has two ports. The Stacking/10GbE modules can be
configured to operate as either 16-Gigabit stacking ports or 10-Gigabit
Ethernet switch ports.
What is Interface Configuration Mode?
When you use the CLI to configure physical or logical characteristics for an
interface, you must enter Interface Configuration Mode for that interface. To
enter the mode, type the keyword interface followed by the interface type and
additional information to identify the interface, such as the interface number.
