Install Guide

To view which interfaces are enabled for Layer 3 data transmission, use the show ip interfaces brief command in
EXEC Privilege mode. In the following example, TenGigabitEthernet interface 1/6 is in Layer 3 mode because an IP address has
been assigned to it and the interface’s status is operationally up.
To view only configured interfaces, use the show interfaces configured command in the EXEC Privilege mode.
To determine which physical interfaces are available, use the show running-config command in EXEC mode. This
command displays all physical interfaces available on the system.
Resetting an Interface to its Factory Default State
You can reset the configurations applied on an interface to its factory default state. To reset the configuration, perform the
following steps:
1. View the configurations applied on an interface.
INTERFACE mode
show config
2. Reset an interface to its factory default state.
CONFIGURATION mode
default interface interface-type]
3. Verify the configuration.
INTERFACE mode
show config
All the applied configurations are removed and the interface is set to the factory default state.
Enabling a Physical Interface
After determining the type of physical interfaces available, to enable and configure the interfaces, enter INTERFACE mode by
using the interface interface command.
1. Enter the keyword interface then the type of interface and slot/port information.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface interface
● For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port/subport information.
● For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
2. Enable the interface.
INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
To confirm that the interface is enabled, use the show config command in INTERFACE mode. To leave INTERFACE mode,
use the exit command or end command. You cannot delete a physical interface.
Physical Interfaces
The Management Ethernet interface is a single RJ-45 Fast Ethernet port on a switch.
The interface provides dedicated management access to the system.
interfaces support Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic over the interfaces. These interfaces can also become part of virtual interfaces
such as virtual local area networks (VLANs) or port channels.
For more information about VLANs, refer to Bulk Configuration. For more information on port channels, refer to Port Channel
Interfaces.
Dell EMC Networking OS Behavior: The system uses a single MAC address for all physical interfaces.
