Configuring Ethernet interfaces

The Switch Series supports Ethernet interfaces, management Ethernet interfaces, Console

interfaces, and USB interfaces. For the interface types and the number of interfaces supported by a

switch model, see the installation guide.

This chapter describes how to configure management Ethernet interfaces and Ethernet interfaces.

Ethernet interface naming conventions

The Ethernet interfaces are named in the format of interface type A/B/C. The letters that follow the

interface type represent the following elements:

• A—IRF member ID. If the switch is not in an IRF fabric, A is 1 by default.

• B—Card slot number. 0 indicates the interface is a fixed interface of the switch.

• C—Port index.

Configuring a management Ethernet interface

A management interface uses an RJ-45 connector. You can connect the interface to a PC for

software loading and system debugging, or connect it to a remote NMS for remote system

management.

To configure a management Ethernet interface:

Step Command Remarks

1. Enter system view.

By default, the management Ethernet

interface is up.

Configuring common Ethernet interface settings

Configuring a combo interface (single combo interface)

A combo interface is a logical interface that physically comprises one fiber combo port and one

copper combo port. The two ports share one forwarding channel and one interface view. As a result,

they cannot work simultaneously. When you activate one port, the other port is automatically

disabled. In the interface view, you can activate the fiber or copper combo port, and configure other

port attributes such as the interface rate and duplex mode.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure combo interfaces, complete the following tasks:

• Determine the combo interfaces on your device. Identify the two physical interfaces that belong

to each combo interface according to the marks on the device panel.

2

• Use the display interface command to determine which port (fiber or copper) of each combo

interface is active:

{ If the copper port is active, the output includes "Media type is twisted pair, Port hardware

type is 1000_BASE_T."

{ If the fiber port is active, the output does not include this information.

Also, you can use the display this command in the view of each combo interface to display the

combo interface configuration:

{ If the fiber port is active, the combo enable fiber command exists in the output.

{ If the copper port is active, the combo enable fiber command does not exist in the output.

Configuring basic settings of an Ethernet interface

IMPORTANT:

Configure the same speed and duplex mode for the two interfaces at the ends of a link.

You can configure an Ethernet interface to operate in one of the following duplex modes:

• Full-duplex mode—The interface can send and receive packets simultaneously.

• Half-duplex mode—The interface can only send or receive packets at a given time.

• Autonegotiation mode—The interface negotiates a duplex mode with its peer.

You can set the speed of an Ethernet interface or enable it to automatically negotiate a speed with its

peer. For a 100-Mbps or 1000-Mbps Layer 2 Ethernet interface, you can also set speed options for

autonegotiation. The two ends can select a speed only from the available options. For more

information, see "Setting speed options for autonegotiation on an Ethernet interface."

test.

Configuring jumbo frame support

An Ethernet interface might receive frames larger than the standard Ethernet frame size during

high-throughput data exchanges, such as file transfers. These frames are called jumbo frames.

The Ethernet interface processes jumbo frames in the following ways:

• When the Ethernet interface is configured to deny jumbo frames, the Ethernet interface

discards jumbo frames.

• When the Ethernet interface is configured with jumbo frame support, the Ethernet interface

performs the following operations:

{ Processes jumbo frames within the specified length.

{ Discards jumbo frames that exceed the specified length.

To configure jumbo frame support in interface view:

By default, the switch allows jumbo

frames within 10000 bytes to pass

through all Ethernet interfaces.

When you set the size argument, the

value must be an even integer.

Configuring physical state change suppression on an

Ethernet interface

IMPORTANT:

Do not enable this feature on an interface that has RRPP, spanning tree protocols, or Smart Link

enabled.

4

The physical link state of an Ethernet interface is either up or down. Each time the physical link of an

interface comes up or goes down, the interface immediately reports the change to the CPU. The

CPU then performs the following operations:

• Notifies the upper-layer protocol modules (such as routing and forwarding modules) of the

change for guiding packet forwarding.

• Automatically generates traps and logs to inform users to take the correct actions.

To prevent frequent physical link flapping from affecting system performance, configure physical

state change suppression. You can configure this feature to suppress only link-down events, only

link-up events, or both. If an event of the specified type still exists when the suppression interval

expires, the system reports the event.

When you configure this feature, follow these guidelines:

• To suppress only link-down events, configure the link-delay [ msec ] delay-time command.

• To suppress only link-up events, configure the link-delay [ msec ] delay-time mode up

command.

• To suppress both link-down and link-up events, configure the link-delay [ msec ] delay-time

mode updown command.

To configure physical state change suppression on an Ethernet interface:

Step Command Remarks

1. Enter system view.

By default, the link-down or link-up event is

immediately reported to the CPU.

If you configure this command multiple times on

an Ethernet interface, the most recent

configuration takes effect.

Configuring dampening on an Ethernet interface

The interface dampening feature uses an exponential decay mechanism to prevent excessive

interface flapping events from adversely affecting routing protocols and routing tables in the network.

Suppressing interface state change events protects the system resources.

If an interface is not dampened, its state changes are reported. For each state change, the system

also generates an SNMP trap and log message.

After a flapping interface is dampened, it does not report its state changes to the CPU. For state

change events, the interface only generates SNMP trap and log messages.

Parameters

• Penalty—The interface has an initial penalty of 0. When the interface flaps, the penalty

increases by 1000 for each down event until the ceiling is reached. It does not increase for up

events. When the interface stops flapping, the penalty decreases by half each time the half-life

timer expires until the penalty drops to the reuse threshold.

• Ceiling—The penalty stops increasing when it reaches the ceiling.

• Suppress-limit—The accumulated penalty that triggers the device to dampen the interface. In

dampened state, the interface does not report its state changes to the CPU. For state change

events, the interface only generates SNMP traps and log messages.

5

• Reuse-limit—When the accumulated penalty decreases to this reuse threshold, the interface is

not dampened. Interface state changes are reported to the upper layers. For each state change,

the system also generates an SNMP trap and log message.

• Decay—The amount of time (in seconds) after which a penalty is decreased.

• Max-suppress-time—The maximum amount of time the interface can be dampened. If the

penalty is still higher than the reuse threshold when this timer expires, the penalty stops

increasing for down events. The penalty starts to decrease until it drops below the reuse

threshold.

The ceiling is equal to 2

(Max-suppress-time/Decay)

× reuse-limit. It is not user configurable.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

When you configure dampening on an Ethernet interface, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

• The dampening command and the link-delay command cannot be configured together on an

interface.

• The dampening command does not take effect on the administratively down events. When you

execute the shutdown command, the penalty restores to 0, and the interface reports the down

event to the upper-layer protocols.

• Do not enable the dampening feature on an interface with RRPP, MSTP, or Smart Link enabled.

Enabling loopback testing on an Ethernet interface

CAUTION:

After you enable this feature on an Ethernet interface, the interface cannot forward data traffic

correctly.

Perform this task to determine whether an Ethernet link works correctly.

Loopback testing includes the following types:

• Internal loopback testing—Tests the device where the Ethernet interface resides. The

Ethernet interface sends outgoing packets back to the local device. If the device fails to receive

the packets, the device fails.

• External loopback testing—Tests the inter-device link. The Ethernet interface sends incoming

packets back to the remote device. If the remote device fails to receive the packets, the

inter-device link fails.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

When you configure loopback testing on an Ethernet interface, follow these restrictions and

guidelines:

• On an administratively shut down Ethernet interface (displayed as in ADM or Administratively

DOWN state), you cannot perform an internal or external loopback test.

• The speed, duplex, mdix-mode, and shutdown commands are not available during a

loopback test.

• During a loopback test, the Ethernet interface operates in full duplex mode. When a loopback

test is complete, the port returns to its duplex setting.

Configuring generic flow control on an Ethernet interface

To avoid dropping packets on a link, you can enable generic flow control at both ends of the link.

When traffic congestion occurs at the receiving end, the receiving end sends a flow control (Pause)

frame to ask the sending end to suspend sending packets. Generic flow control includes the

following types:

7

• TxRx-mode generic flow control—Enabled by using the flow-control command. With

TxRx-mode generic flow control enabled, an interface can both send and receive flow control

frames:

{ When congestion occurs, the interface sends a flow control frame to its peer.

{ When the interface receives a flow control frame from its peer, it suspends sending packets

to its peer.

• Rx-mode generic flow control—Enabled by using the flow-control receive enable

command. With Rx-mode generic flow control enabled, an interface can receive flow control

frames, but it cannot send flow control frames:

{ When congestion occurs, the interface cannot send flow control frames to its peer.

{ When the interface receives a flow control frame from its peer, it suspends sending packets

to its peer.

To handle unidirectional traffic congestion on a link, configure the flow-control receive enable

command at one end and the flow-control command at the other end. To enable both ends of a link

to handle traffic congestion, configure the flow-control command at both ends.

Enabling auto power-down on an Ethernet interface

IMPORTANT:

Fiber ports do not support this feature.

When an Ethernet interface with auto power-down enabled has been down for a certain period of

time, both of the following events occur:

• The device automatically stops supplying power to the Ethernet interface.

• The Ethernet interface enters the power save mode.

The time period depends on the chip specifications and is not configurable.

When the Ethernet interface comes up, both of the following events occur:

• The device automatically restores power supply to the Ethernet interface.

• The Ethernet interface restores to its normal state.

To enable auto power-down on an Ethernet interface:

Enabling automatic negotiation for speed downgrading

Perform this task to enable interfaces at two ends of a link to automatically negotiate about

downgrading their speed when the following conditions exist:

• The interfaces automatically negotiate a speed of 1000 Mbps.

• The interfaces cannot operate at 1000 Mbps because of link restrictions.

Configuring storm suppression

The storm suppression feature ensures that the size of a particular type of traffic (broadcast,

multicast, or unknown unicast traffic) does not exceed the threshold on an interface. When the

broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast traffic on the interface exceeds this threshold, the system

discards packets until the traffic drops below this threshold.

Both storm suppression and storm control can suppress storms on an interface. Storm suppression

uses the chip to suppress traffic. Storm suppression has less impact on the device performance than

storm control, which uses software to suppress traffic.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

When you configure storm suppression, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

9

• For the traffic suppression result to be determined, do not configure storm control together with

storm suppression for the same type of traffic. For more information about storm control, see

"Configuring storm control on an Ethernet interface."

• Whe

n you configure the suppression threshold in kbps, the actual suppression threshold might

be different from the configured one as follows:

{ If the configured value is smaller than 64, the value of 64 takes effect.

{ If the configured value is greater than 64 but not an integer multiple of 64, the integer

multiple of 64 that is greater than and closest to the configured value takes effect.

For the suppression threshold that takes effect, see the prompt on the device.

Configuring a Layer 2 Ethernet interface

Setting speed options for autonegotiation on an Ethernet

interface

By default, speed autonegotiation enables an Ethernet interface to negotiate with its peer for the

highest speed that both ends support. You can narrow down the speed option list for negotiation.
