Interface Configuration Mode

The controller supports these interface types:

• Physical ports—controller ports and routed ports

• VLANs—switch virtual interfaces

• Port channels—EtherChannel interfaces

You can also configure a range of interfaces.

To configure a physical interface (port), specify the interface type, stack member number (only stacking-capable

switches), module number, and controller port number, and enter interface configuration mode.

• Type—Gigabit Ethernet (gigabitethernet or gi) for 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports, 10-Gigabit Ethernet

• Stack member number—The number that identifies the controller within the stack. The controller number

• Module number—The module or slot number on the controller: switch (downlink) ports are 0, and uplink

• Port number—The interface number on the controller. The 10/100/1000 port numbers always begin at 1,

range is 1 to 9 and is assigned the first time the controller initializes. The default controller number,

before it is integrated into a controller stack, is 1. When a controller has been assigned a stack member

number, it keeps that number until another is assigned to it.

You can use the switch port LEDs in Stack mode to identify the stack member number of a controller.
