Chapter 10 Configuring Interface Characteristics
Configuring Ethernet Interfaces
Default Ethernet Interface Configuration
Table 10-2
shows the Ethernet interface default configuration, including some features that apply only
to Layer 2 interfaces. For more details on the VLAN parameters listed in the table, see
Chapter 12,
“Configuring VLANs.”
For details on controlling traffic to the port, see
Chapter 25, “Configuring
Port-Based Traffic Control.”
Note
To configure Layer 2 parameters, if the interface is in Layer 3 mode, you must enter the switchport
interface configuration command without any parameters to put the interface into Layer 2 mode. This
shuts down the interface and then re-enables it, which might generate messages on the device to which
the interface is connected. When you put an interface that is in Layer 3 mode into Layer 2 mode, the
previous configuration information related to the affected interface might be lost, and the interface is
returned to its default configuration.

Default VLAN (for access ports)
VLAN 1 (Layer 2 interfaces only).
Native VLAN (for IEEE 802.1Q
trunks)
VLAN 1 (Layer 2 interfaces only).
VLAN trunking

Speed
1000 Mb/s for the internal ports (nonconfigurable)
Autonegotiate for the external 10/100/1000-Mb/s and SFP module
ports. (Not supported on the 10-Gigabit interfaces.)
Duplex mode
Full duplex for the internal ports (nonconfigurable)
Autonegotiate for the external 10/100/1000-Mb/s and SFP module
ports. (Not supported on the 10-Gigabit interfaces.)
Flow control
Flow control is set to receive: off. It is always off for sent packets.
EtherChannel (PAgP)
Disabled on all Ethernet ports. See
Chapter 37, “Configuring
EtherChannels and Link-State Tracking.”
Port blocking (unknown multicast
and unknown unicast traffic)
Disabled (not blocked) (Layer 2 interfaces only). See the
“Configuring Port Blocking” section on page 25-6
.
Broadcast, multicast, and unicast
storm control
Disabled. See the
“Default Storm Control Configuration” section
on page 25-3
.
Protected port
Disabled (Layer 2 interfaces only). See the
“Configuring Protected
Ports” section on page 25-5
.
Port security
Disabled (Layer 2 interfaces only). See the
“Default Port Security
Configuration” section on page 25-10
