Enabling and Disabling Interfaces
The interfaces command is used to enable or disable a specific port, a range of ports, or all ports on an
entire slot.
-> interfaces 2/3 admin-state disable
-> interfaces 2/1-3 admin-state disable
-> interfaces 2 admin-state disable
Configuring a Port Alias
The interfaces alias command is used to configure an alias (i.e., description) for a single port. (You
cannot configure an entire switch or a range of ports.) For example:
-> interfaces 2/3 alias ip_phone1
-> interfaces 2/3 alias “ip phones 1”
Note. Spaces must be contained within quotes.
Configuring Maximum Frame Sizes
The interfaces max-frame-size command can be used to configure the maximum frame size (in bytes) on
a specific port, a range of ports, or all ports on a switch.
For example:
-> interfaces 2/3 max frame 9216
-> interfaces 2/1-3 max frame 9216
-> interfaces 2 max frame 9216
Configuring Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM)
Digital Diagnostics Monitoring allows the switch to monitor the status of a transceiver by reading the
information contained on the transceiver's EEPROM. The transceiver can display Actual, Warning-Low,
Warning-High, Alarm-Low and Alarm-High for the following:
• Temperature
• Supply Voltage
• Current
• Output Power
• Input Power
To enable the DDM capability on the switch use the interfaces ddm command. For example, enter:
-> interfaces ddm enable
Traps can be enabled using the interfaces ddm-trap if any of the above values crosses the pre-defined
low or high thresholds of the transceiver. For example:
-> interfaces ddm-trap enable
