Configure Ethernet Interfaces

Learn how to configure the physical properties of an interface specific to Fast-Ethernet interfaces, Gigabit-Ethernet interfaces, and aggregated Ethernet interfaces.

Configure Ethernet Interfaces Properties

To configure the Ethernet interfaces properties based on your requirement, select the appropriate command.

  1. In configuration mode, go to the interfaces hierarchy level to set the interface port type such as aex, e3, fe, ge, t3.

  2. Configure the Fast Ethernet interface at the [edit interfaces fe-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level.

  3. Configure the Gigabit Ethernet Interface at the [edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level.

  4. Configure aggregated Ethernet interface, at the [edit interfaces aex] hierarchy level

  5. Configure the 10-Gigabit Ethernet DWDM interface, include the optics-options statement at the [edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level.

  6. Configure LAN or WAN on 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, include the framing statement at the [edit interfaces xe-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level.

  7. Configure OAM 802.3ah support for Ethernet interfaces, include the oam statement at the [edit protocols] hierarchy level.

  8. Configure Gigabit Ethernet IQ-specific logical interface, at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number] hierarchy level or [edit logical-systems logical-system-name interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number]

  9. Configure the speed at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level.

  10. Configure an ingress rate limit on a Fast Ethernet 8-port, 12-port, or 48-port PIC interface, include the ingress-rate-limit statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name fastether-options] hierarchy level.

  11. Configure an Ethernet interface to operate in either full-duplex or half-duplex mode, include the link-mode statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level.

  12. Configure multicast statistics collection on Ethernet Interfaces, include the multicast-statistics statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name ge-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level.

  13. Configure MAC address validation on static Ethernet interfaces, include the arp ip-address mac mac-address statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family inet address interface-address] hierarchy level.
