Configure a physical interface

Configure physical interface settings including enable/disable state, speed, duplex, type, and auto-negotiation to ensure proper network connectivity.

You can physically enable and disable interfaces, as well as set the interface speed and duplex. To use an interface, it must be physically enabled in FXOS and logically enabled in the application.

Note

  • For QSFPH40G-CUxM, auto-negotiation is enabled by default and you cannot disable it.

  • If you replace an SFP on a port with a different SFP module, the speed, duplex, and auto-negotiation of the interface is not updated automatically. You must manually reconfigure the interface.

Before you begin

An interface that is already a member of an EtherChannel cannot be modified individually. Be sure to configure settings before you add it to the EtherChannel.
