Interface Configuration Mode
There is no limit to the number of static routes on switches running the IP Lite feature set.
Note
Interface Configuration Mode
The switch supports these interface types:
• Physical ports—switch ports and routed ports
• VLANs—switch virtual interfaces
• Port channels—EtherChannel interfaces
You can also configure a range of interfaces.
To configure a physical interface (port), specify the interface type, stack member number, module number,
and switch port number, and enter interface configuration mode.
• Type—Gigabit Ethernet (gigabitethernet or gi) for 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports, or small form-factor
• Stack member number—The number that identifies the switch within the stack. The range is 1 to 8 for
• Module number—The module or slot number on the switch (always 0).
• Port number—The interface number on the switch. The 10/100/1000 port numbers always begin at 1,
You can identify physical interfaces by physically checking the interface location on the switch. You can also
use the show privileged EXEC commands to display information about a specific interface or all the interfaces
on the switch. The remainder of this chapter primarily provides physical interface configuration procedures.
These are examples of how to identify interfaces on a stacking-capable switch:
• To configure 10/100/1000 port 4 on a standalone switch, enter this command:
• To configure 10/100/1000 port 4 on stack member 3, enter this command:

a stack of Catalyst 2960-XR switches. The switch number is assigned the first time the switch initializes.
The default switch number, before it is integrated into a switch stack, is 1. When a switch has been
assigned a stack member number, it keeps that number until another is assigned to it.
You can use the switch port LEDs in Stack mode to identify the stack member number of a switch.
starting with the far left port when facing the front of the switch, for example, gigabitethernet1/0/1 or
gigabitethernet1/0/8. For a switch with 10/100/1000 ports and SFP module ports, SFP module ports are
numbered consecutively following the 10/100/1000 ports.
