Configures gigabit Ethernet interface.
Configuring Ethernet Interface
Logical Interface
Loopback interface
Null interface
VLAN interface
Configuring Logistical Interface
The loopback interface and null interface

Configuring Logistical Interface
The two supported kinds of interface: Ethernet interface and logical interface. The Ethernet interface type
depends on one device depends on the standard communication interface and the interface card or interfaced
module installed on the switch. The logical interface is the interface without the corresponding physical device,
which is established by user manually.
The supported Ethernet interfaces of our switch include:
Ethernet interface
Fast Ethernet interface
Gigabit Ethernet interface
The supported logical interface of our switch include:
