Configuring an Ethernet Network Port

A network port is network facing and participates in the service provider transport or infrastructure network processes.

Use the following basic CLI syntax to configure Ethernet network mode port parameters.

CLI Syntax:

port port-id 
ethernet
    mode {network}
    network
        accounting-policy policy-id
        [no] collect-stats 
        queue-policy name
        scheduler-mode {profile | 4-priority | 16-priority}

The following CLI syntax shows an example of configuring an Ethernet port for network mode.

Example:

config# port 1/1/1
config>port# description "Ethernet network port"
config>port# ethernet
config>port>ethernet# mode network
config>port>ethernet# exit
config>port># no shutdown

Use the config port info command to display port configuration information.
