Supermicro L2/L3 Switches Configuration Guide
1.4.1 Description
Supermicro switches allow users to configure a description string for the interfaces. This descriptive
string will be useful to easily identify the interfaces.
Follow the steps below to configure the interface description string.
Step Command Description
Enters the configuration mode
or
interface range <interface-type><interface-id> ….
Enters the interface configuration
mode.
interface-type – may be any of the
following:
gigabitethernet – gi
extreme-ethernet – ex
qx-ethernet – qx
vlan
interface-id is in slot/port format for all
physical interfaces. It may be the VLAN
identifier for VLAN interfaces.
To configure multiple interfaces, use
the “interface range …” command. To
provide a range, use a hyphen (-)
between the start and end interface
numbers. E.g.: int range gi 0/1-10
To provide multiple interfaces or
ranges, separate with a comma (,).
E.g.: int range gi 0/1-10, gi 0/20
If multiple interfaces are provided, the
next step will perform the particular
configuration on all these interfaces.
