DES-7200 Configuration Guide Chapter 1 Interface Configuration
1-10
the members of the aggregate port cannot be changed. The ports configured to
be the media auto-select cannot be added to the AP.
Command Function
DES-7200(config-if)# medium-type { fiber |
copper }
Set the media type of a port.
This example sets the media type of gigabitethernet 1/1:
DES-7200# config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
DES-7200(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/1
DES-7200(config-if)# medium-type fiber
DES-7200(config-if)# end

Interface
Description and
Management
Status
You may give an interface a particular name (description) to help you remember
its functions. You may name the interface what you want to do with it, for
example, if you want to reserve Gigabitethernet 1/1 for the exclusive use of user
A, you may set its description to “Port for User A”.
Command Function
DES-7200(config-if)# description string
Set the interface description in
no more than 32 characters.
This example sets the description of Gigabitethernet 1/1:
DES-7200# config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
DES-7200(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/1
DES-7200(config-if)# description PortForUser A
DES-7200(config-if)# end
In some circumstances, you may need to disable some interface. You can do
this by setting the management status of the interface. Once disabled, no
frames can be received and sent through the interface, and all its functions are
disabled. You can also restart an disabled interface by setting its management
status. The management status of an interface can be up or down. When a port
is disabled, its management status is down; otherwise, it is in the status up.
Command Function
DES-7200(config-if)# shutdown
Disable an interface.
