Interface Management
This chapter describes interface configurations. The interfaces that can be managed include Ethernet interfaces, Eth-Trunk interfaces, VLANIF interfaces, and loopback interfaces. You can configure the interfaces and view configuration information.
- Ethernet
The switch provides Ethernet interfaces and GigabitEthernet interfaces. Configure these interfaces as required.
- Eth-Trunk
An Eth-Trunk is composed of Ethernet links. The Eth-Trunk interface does not exist physically.
- VLANIF
When a switch needs to communicate with the devices at the network layer, you can create a logical interface based on a VLAN on the switch, namely, a VLANIF interface. The VLANIF interface does not exist physically. The S2700SI, S2700EI or S2710SI-52P switches do not support this function.
- LoopBack
A loopback interface is a logical interface. It is always Up. The loopback interface is usually used in loopback test.
