Physical interfaces can become part of virtual interfaces such as VLANs or Link Aggregation Groups
(LAGs), also called port channels:
• For more information on VLANs, see VLANs on page 207.
• For more information on port channels, see Link Aggregation on page 165.
The System Configuration chapter of the
SFTOS Command Reference details the commands used in this
chapter.
You can duplicate the execution of a particular configuration command against an interface without
repercussion. For example, you can execute the
no shutdown command twice on a port. The first use of the
command enables the port. The second use of the command has no effect.
Nevertheless, as a best practice, you should determine the status of physical interfaces before executing
commands on them. For that purpose, you can select from the commands described in Viewing Interface
Information on page 112.
Another option is the
show port all command, the use of which is shown below in Figure 7-84. When used
against a stack of S50s, ports on all member units are displayed (The sample in Figure 7-84 is truncated at
port 18.)
Figure 7-84. Interfaces Listed in the show port all Command (Partial)
The show port all command generates a report with the following fields:
• Intf—Valid unit, slot and port number separated by forward slashes.
• Type—If not blank, this field indicates that this port is a special type of port. The possible values are:
— Mon—This port is a monitoring port. Look at the Port Monitoring screens to find out more
information.
