Ethernet interface configuration commands

CAUTION:

The default command might interrupt ongoing network services. Make sure you are fully aware of the impacts of this command when you perform it on a live network.

General Ethernet interface configuration commands

default

Description

Use the default command to restore the default settings for an Ethernet interface.

This command might fail to restore the default settings for some commands for reasons such as command dependencies and system restrictions. You can use the display this command in interface view to check for these commands, and perform their undo forms or follow the command reference to individually restore their default settings. If your restoration attempt still fails, follow the error message to resolve the problem.

Syntax

default

View

Ethernet interface view

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

None

Example

# Restore the default settings for interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] default

This command will restore the default settings. Continue? [Y/N]:y

description

Description

Use the description command to change the description of the interface.

Use the undo description command to restore the default.

The default description of an interface is the interface name plus Interface. For example, GigabitEthernet1/0/1 Interface.

Related commands: display interface.

Syntax

description text

undo description

View

Ethernet interface view

Default level

2: System level

Parameter

text: Specifies the interface description, a string of 1 to 80 characters. The string can include casesensitive letters, digits, special characters (including ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ + = { } [ ] | \ : ; " ' < > , . /), spaces, and other Unicode characters and symbols.

Each Unicode character takes the space of two regular characters.

To use Unicode characters or symbols in an interface description, install the specific input method editor and log in to the switch through remote login software that supports the character type.

When the length of a description string reaches or exceeds the maximum line width on the terminal software, the software starts a new line, possibly breaking a Unicode character into two. As a result, garbled characters may be displayed at the end of a line.

Example

# Change the description of interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to lanswitch-interface.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] description lanswitch-interface

Use the loopback command to enable loopback testing on an Ethernet interface.

By default, loopback testing is disabled on Ethernet interfaces.

Enable loopback testing for troubleshooting purposes, such as identifying an Ethernet problem.

During loopback testing, the speed, duplex, mdi, and shutdown commands are not available. In addition, the port is operating in full duplex mode, regardless of its duplex configuration. After loopback testing is disabled, the duplex configuration of the port is restored.

port link-mode

Description

Use the port link-mode command to change the link mode of an Ethernet interface.

Use the undo port link-mode command to restore the default.

By default, Ethernet interfaces operate in Layer 2 mode.

To meet networking requirements, you can change the link mode of a port, so it can operate as a Layer 2 Ethernet interface (in bridge mode) or Layer 3 Ethernet interface (in route mode).

When you change the link mode of an Ethernet interface, all the settings of the Ethernet interface are restored to their defaults under the new link mode.

Syntax

Related commands: port link-mode interface-list.

port link-mode { bridge | route }

Parameters

bridge: Specifies the Layer 2 mode.

route: Specifies the Layer 3 mode.

Example

# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to operate in Layer 2 mode.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

port link-mode bridge

Return

The output shows that GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 is now operating in bridge mode.

port link-mode interface-list

Description

Use the port link-mode interface-list command to change the link mode of Ethernet interfaces.

To meet networking requirements, you can change the link mode of a port, so it can operate as a Layer 2 Ethernet interface (in bridge mode) or Layer 3 Ethernet interface (in route mode).

Configuring the port link-mode interface-list command in system view and configuring the port link-mode command in Ethernet interface view lead to the same result. The difference between the two commands is that the former changes the link mode of multiple Ethernet interfaces in batch, and the latter changes the link mode of one Ethernet interface at a time.

When you change the link mode of an Ethernet interface, all the settings of the Ethernet interface are restored to their defaults under the new link mode.

The link mode configuration for an Ethernet interface in system view and that in interface view supersede each other. The command that is configured last takes effect.

Syntax

port link-mode { bridge | route } interface-list

View

System view

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

bridge: Specifies the Layer 2 mode.

route: Specifies the Layer 3 mode.

interface-list: Specifies an Ethernet interface list, in the format of interface-type interface-number [ to interface-type interface-number ] &<1-10>, where &<1-10> indicates that you can specify up to 10

interfaces or interface ranges.

Examples

# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 through GigabitEthernet 1/0/5 to operate in Layer 2 mode.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] port link-mode bridge gigabitethernet 1/0/1 to gigabitethernet 1/0/5

reset packet-drop interface

Description

Use the reset packet-drop interface command to clear statistics of dropped packets on an interface or multiple interfaces.

Sometimes you need to clear the old statistics before you can collect statistics of dropped packets:

If you do not specify an interface type, this command clears statistics of dropped packets on all the

interfaces on the switch.

If you specify an interface type only, this command clears statistics of dropped packets on the

specified type of interfaces.

If you specify both the interface type and interface number, this command clears statistics of

dropped packets on the specified interface.
