Disabling and Re-enabling a Physical Interface
By default, all port interfaces on an Aggregator are operationally enabled (no shutdown) to send and
receive Layer 2 traffic. You can reconfigure a physical interface to shut it down by entering the shutdown
command. To re-enable the interface, enter the no shutdown command.
Step Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
1. interface interface CONFIGURATION Enter the keyword interface followed by the type of
interface and slot/port information:
• For a 10GbE interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet followed by the slot/port
numbers; for example, interface
tengigabitethernet 0/5.
• For the management interface on a stack-unit,
enter the keyword ManagementEthernet followed
by the slot/port numbers; for example, interface
managementethernet 0/0.
2. shutdown INTERFACE Enter the shutdown command to disable the interface.
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.
The management IP address on the D-fabric provides a dedicated management access to the system.
The switch interfaces support Layer 2 traffic over the 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. These interfaces can
also become part of virtual interfaces such as VLANs or port channels.
For more information about VLANs, refer to VLANs and Port Tagging. For more information about port
channels, refer to Port Channel Interfaces.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: The Aggregator uses a single MAC address for all physical interfaces.
Layer 2 Mode
On an Aggregator, physical interfaces, port channels, and VLANs auto-configure to operate in Layer 2
mode. Following example demonstrates about the basic configurations found in Layer 2 interface.
NOTE: Layer 3 (Network) mode is not supported on Aggregator physical interfaces, port channels
and VLANs. Only management interfaces operate in Layer 3 mode.
