Chapter 11
Configuring Interface Characteristics
You can also configure a range of interfaces (see the
page
11-6).
To configure a physical interface (port), specify the interface type, module number, and switch port number,
and enter interface configuration mode.
•
Type—Fast Ethernet (fastethernet or fa) for 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet (gigabitethernet
or gi) for 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports, or small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces.
Module number—The module number on the switch. The module number (1 to 3) depends on how
•
the module is connected to the switch or to other modules.

Port number—The physical interface number on the switch. The port numbers for the IE-3000-4TC

switch model are 1–4 for the Fast Ethernet ports and 1–2 for the Gigabit Ethernet ports. The port
numbers for the IE-3000-8TC switch model are 1–8 for the Fast Ethernet ports and 1–2 for the
Gigabit Ethernet ports.

You can identify physical interfaces by looking at the switch. You can also use the show privileged
EXEC commands to display information about a specific interface or all the interfaces. The remainder
of this chapter primarily provides physical interface configuration procedures.

The module number for the IE-3000-4TC and IE-3000-8TC switches is 1.
The module number for a module that is directly connected to the switch is 2.
The module number for a module that is connected to another module is 3.
