Information About Ethernet Interfaces
The Ethernet ports can operate as standard Ethernet interfaces connected to servers or to a LAN.
The Ethernet interfaces are enabled by default.
Interface Command
You can enable the various capabilities of the Ethernet interfaces on a per-interface basis using the interface
command. When you enter the interface command, you specify the following information:
• Interface type—All physical Ethernet interfaces use the ethernet keyword.
• Slot number:
• Port number— Port number within the group.
The interface numbering convention is extended to support use with a Cisco Nexus Fabric Extender as follows:
switch(config)# interface ethernet [chassis/]slot/port
