Basic Attributes

You can configure and query the basic attributes of Ethernet interfaces.

Context

Procedure

• Query basic attributes.
  1. Choose Interface Management > Ethernet > Basic Attributes in the navigation tree to open the Basic Attributes page.
  2. Select an interface type from the drop-down list box.
  3. Enter the interface number, for example, 0/0/1 (stack ID/subcard ID/interface number).
  4. Click Query to display all matching records.
     NOTE:

     To view real-time interface information, click on the Basic Attributes tag page to refresh the page.

• Configure basic attributes.
  1. Choose Interface Management > Ethernet > Basic Attributes in the navigation tree to open the Basic Attributes page.
  2. Select a record and click Configure. The Configure Basic Attributes page is displayed.

     Table 1 describes the parameters on the Configure Basic Attributes page.

     Table 1 Configure Basic Attributes

     Parameter	Description
     Interface Name	Indicates the name of an interface. The interface name cannot be modified. You can select multiple interfaces each time. NOTE: If only one interface is selected, the configuration of the interface is displayed on the Configure Basic Attributes page. If multiple interfaces are selected, the default settings of the interfaces are displayed.
     PVID	Indicates the default VLAN of the interface. This parameter cannot be modified.
     Status	Indicates the status of the interface, which can be enabled or disabled. By default, the status of an interface is enabled. This parameter is mandatory.
     Link Type	Indicates the link type of an Ethernet interface. This parameter is mandatory. The following link types are available: Access Hybrid Trunk The default link type is hybrid. The value cannot be changed.
     Negotiation	Indicates whether auto-negotiation is enabled. This parameter is mandatory. By default, auto-negotiation is enabled, and the duplex mode or interface rate cannot be configured. If auto-negotiation is disabled, the Duplex and Speed parameters can be configured.
     Duplex	Indicates the duplex mode of the interface, including full duplex and half duplex. By default, the full duplex mode is enabled on interfaces. This parameter is mandatory. To enable an interface to send and receive packets at the same time, enable the full duplex mode on the interface. To disable an interface from sending and receiving packets at the same time, enable the half duplex mode on the interface. NOTE: A GE electrical interface can work in full duplex, half duplex, or auto-negotiation mode. However, if the speed is set to 1000 Mbit/s, the duplex mode must be full duplex or auto-negotiation. A GE optical interface operates in full duplex mode by default. You can configure it to operate in full duplex mode or auto-negotiation mode.
     Speed	Indicates the interface speed, including 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s, and 1000 Mbit/s. This parameter is mandatory. NOTE: The speed on a GE electrical interface can be 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s, or 1000 Mbit/s. If the duplex mode is set to half duplex, the interface speed cannot be 1000 Mbit/s. The speed on a GE optical interface can only be 1000 Mbit/s. You can set the speed to 1000 Mbit/s or enable auto-negotiation.
     Jumbo	Indicates the length of a jumbo frame. This parameter is optional. NOTE: On the S3700SI and S3700EI switches, the value ranges from 1600 to 13296. The S2700SI, S2710SI-52P, 2700EI or S2700EI-52P switches do not support this parameter.
     Description	Indicates the description of the interface. This parameter is mandatory.

  3. Set parameters.
  4. Click OK.
