You can configure and query the basic attributes of Ethernet
interfaces.
Context
To identify an interface, you can set the description
of the interface. You can query and configure Ethernet interfaces
as required.
Procedure
Query basic attributes.
Choose Interface Management > Ethernet > Basic Attributes in the navigation tree to open the Basic
Attributes page.
Select an interface type from the drop-down list box.
Enter the interface number, for example, 1/0/0 (slot ID/subcard ID/interface number).
Click Query to display all matching
records.
Configure basic attributes.
Choose Interface Management > Ethernet > Basic Attributes in the navigation tree to open the Basic
Attributes page.
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. You can select only interfaces of
the same type.
PVID
The value cannot be changed.
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
The value cannot be changed.
Auto-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 Rate 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.
Rate
Indicates the interface speed. 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 be 100 Mbit/s, 1000 Mbit/s. You can set the speed to
100 Mbit/s, 1000 Mbit/s or enable auto-negotiation.
Jumbo
Indicates the length of a Jumbo frame. This parameter is
optional.
Combo type
When the selected interface is set to Combo interface, the
Combo type can be configured. The Combo types are classified into
auto, copper, and fiber. The default type is auto.
Description
Indicates the description of the interface. This parameter
is mandatory.
