Configuring Ethernet interfaces 

Your device supports the following types of Ethernet interfaces: 

 

Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces

—Physical Ethernet interfaces operating at the data link layer (Layer 2) 

to switch packets.  

 

Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces

—Physical Ethernet interfaces operating at the network layer (Layer 3) to 

route packets. You can assign an IP address to a Layer 3 Ethernet interface. 

 

Layer-configurable Ethernet interfaces

—Physical Ethernet interfaces that can be configured to 

operate in bridge mode as Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces or in route mode as Layer 3 Ethernet 

interfaces.  

 

Layer 3 Ethernet subinterfaces

—Logical interfaces operating at the network layer. You can assign 

an IP address to a Layer 3 Ethernet subinterface. To enable a Layer 3 Ethernet interface to transport 

packets for multiple VLANs, you must create Layer 3 subinterfaces on the Layer 3 Ethernet interface. 

For information about how a Layer 3 Ethernet subinterface sends and receives VLAN-tagged 

packets, see 

Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide

.  

Configuring common Ethernet interface settings 

This section describes the settings common to Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces, and Layer 3 Ethernet 

subinterfaces. For more information about the settings specific to Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces, see 

"

Configuring a Layer 2 Ethernet interface

." For more information about the settings specific to Layer 3 

Ethernet interfaces or subinterfaces, see "

Configuring a Layer 3 Ethernet interface or subinterface

." 

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.  

 

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.
