Configuring Ethernet interfaces
Ethernet interface naming conventions
The Switch Series provides both internal Ethernet interfaces and external Ethernet interfaces.
An internal Ethernet interface is located at the back of a blade switch, and connects the blade switch to
a server, so that the blade switch and the server can communicate.
An external Ethernet interface is located at the front of a blade switch, and connects the switch to another
network device, so that the blade switch can communicate with the network device.
Both the internal Ethernet interfaces and external Ethernet interfaces are named in the format of
interface-type A/B/C, where the following definitions apply:
A—Represents the ID of the switch in an IRF fabric.
•
B—Represents a sub-slot number on the switch. It uses 0 for internal Ethernet interfaces and 1 for
•
external Ethernet interfaces.
C—Represents the number of an interface on a slot.
•
The Ethernet interface numbers in this document are for example, and do not mean that Ethernet
interfaces with these numbers exist on the switch. When you configure the switch, use the Ethernet
interfaces of the switch. For more information about internal Ethernet interfaces, external Ethernet
interfaces, and SFP+ ports, see
Configuring the management Ethernet interface
The switch provides one management Ethernet interface at the back of the switch. This interface connects
to the management module of a server, so that the management module can configure the blade switch,
for example, configure an IP address for the blade switch.
To configure the management Ethernet interface:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enter management
Ethernet interface
view.
3.
Change the
description of the
interface.
4.
Shut down the
interface.
5.
Restore the default
settings for the
interface.
