The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the MPS-14/2 module do not support EtherChannel.
Note
Note To configure IPv6 on a Gigabit Ethernet interface, see the
IPv6 Routing" section on page
Gigabit Ethernet ports on any IPS module or MPS-14/2 module should not be configured in the same
Tip
Ethernet broadcast domain as the management Ethernet port. They should be configured in a different
broadcast domain, either by using separate standalone hubs or switches or by using separate VLANs.

Switch 1
The port on the Ethernet switch to which the MDS Gigabit Ethernet interface is connected should be
Note
configured as a host port (also known as access port) instead of a switch port. Spanning tree
configuration for that port (on the Ethernet switch) should be disabled. This helps avoid the delay in the
management port coming up due to delay from Ethernet spanning tree processing that the Ethernet
switch would run if enabled. For Cisco Ethernet switches, use either the switchport host command in
Cisco IOS or the set port host command in the Catalyst OS.

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Enters the interface configuration mode on the
Gigabit Ethernet interface (slot 2, port 2).
Enters the IPv4 address (10.1.1.100) and subnet
mask (255.255.255.0) for the Gigabit Ethernet
interface.
Enables the interface.
