Configuration Tasks for Ethernet
This section describes the options for configuring
Ethernet interfaces.
You configure an Ethernet interface based on the
requirements for your router configuration and the protocols you plan
to route on the interface. Because you can configure an interface
in different ways, Ethernet configuration tasks are divided into three
primary areas. These areas are further described in separate sections
in this chapter.
- Configuring the physical interface—You must perform
basic configuration steps for all interfaces. This task begins with
selecting an Ethernet interface and setting parameters such as line
speed and MTU.
- Configuring VLANs and stacked VLANs (S-VLANs)—After
you configure the physical interface, you must decide whether to configure
the Ethernet interface with or without VLANs or S-VLANs. VLANs and
S-VLANs enable you to multiplex multiple IP interfaces and PPPoE interfaces
over a single physical Ethernet port. If you are not configuring with
VLANs or S-VLANs, proceed to Configuring Ethernet Interfaces .
- Configuring upper-layer protocols—You must determine
which upper-layer protocols, such as MPLS, to configure on the interface.
This section focuses on non-VLAN configurations. You can configure
some upper-layer protocols, such as PPPoE, with or without VLANs.
