Default Ethernet Interface Configuration

Ethernet interface default configuration for UNIs and ENIs. For more details on the VLAN parameters listed in the table,
see
Configuring VLANs, page 271
Note:
To configure Layer 2 parameters, if the interface is in Layer 3 mode, you must enter the switchport interface
configuration command without any parameters to put the interface into Layer 2 mode. This shuts down the interface
and then re-enables it, which might generate messages on the device to which the interface is connected. When you
put an interface that is in Layer 3 mode into Layer 2 mode, the previous configuration information related to the affected
interface might be lost, and the interface is returned to its default configuration.
