Appendix F Cisco Ios Based Switch Configuration - Dell PS4000 Configuration Manual

Appendix F Cisco IOS based Switch Configuration

Cisco IOS based switches required ―privileged‖ mode access on the console before you can perform
configuration steps in this Appendix. Use the following command to enter ―privileged‖ mode:
Switch> enable
Switch#
Additionally, you must be in configuration mode before any configuration steps can be performed. To
enter configuration mode, the following command must be entered:
Switch# configure terminal
To configure a port on non-chassis based Cisco IOS switch, the interface type, stack member number,
module number, and switch port number must be provided (once you have entered interface
configuration mode).

Interface Type: Gigabit Ethernet and small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules
(gigabitethernet or gi), 10-Gigabit Ethernet (tengigabitethernet or te).

Stack member number: Identifies the switch within the stack. The switch number range is 1 to
9 and is assigned the first time the switch initializes. All standalone switches have stack
member number equal to 1. When a switch is added to an existing stack it will receive a new
stack member number and it keeps that number until another is assigned to it. Non-Stackable
switches have a stack member number of 1. The switch port LEDs can be configured in Stack
mode to identify the stack member number of a switch.

Module number: The module or slot number on the switch is always 0.

Port number: Reflects the actual port number on the switch. Port numbers always begin at 1,
starting with the far left port when facing the front of the switch.
For switches that have Cisco TwinGig Converter Modules in 10-Gigabit Ethernet module slots, the
interface type is tengigabitethernet, and the port numbers restart at 1. For example, the first
port on the first TwinGig Converter Module is referenced as tengigabitethernet1/0/1 and the
first port on the second TwinGig Converter Module would be referenced as
tengigabitethernet1/0/3.
For switches that are using Cisco dual SFP X2 converter modules in the 10-Gigabit Ethernet module
slots, the SFP module ports are numbered consecutively following the fixed port interfaces. For
example, if the switch has 24 fixed ports, the SFP module ports are gigabitethernet1/0/25
through gigabitethernet1/0/28.
For example, on a Cisco Catalyst® 3750-E, port #4 is identified by entering the following command:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/4
