Table 2: Fields on the Configure Physical Interface Page Field Description Basic Information Interface Name
Enter a name containing up to 63 characters without spaces.
The name must begin with an alphanumeric character and can include colons, periods, dashes, and underscores.
Description
Enter a description of the physical interface.
Ensure that the description contains useful information that is helpful to administrators.
MTU
Enter the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size.
MTU is the largest packet or frame size specified in bytes or octets that can be sent in a packet-based or frame-based network. TCP uses MTU to determine the maximum size of each packet in any transmission. The valid range is between 256 and 9192.
Enabled
Enable this option to activate VLAN tagging for the physical interface.
VLAN Tagging Type
Select whether you want the interface to receive and forward dingle tag frames, flexible dual-tag frames, or a mixture of untagged single-tag and dual-tag frames.
If you change the VLAN tagging type, you must update the logical units of this interface.
Native-VLAN ID
Enter the VLAN identifier to associate with the untagged packets received on the physical interface of a trunk mode interface.
Ethernet Config MAC address
Enter the MAC address of the physical interface.
Storm Control Profile Name
Enter a storm control profile on a switch or router.
Storm control is used to prevent network outages that are caused by broadcast traffic storms.
Aggregate ID
Enter the aggregated Ethernet interface ID.
Port Speed
