This section documents the GigabitEthernet configuration commands.

The following ports are available to NX series service platform models:
  • NX 5500: ge1, ge2
  • NX 7500: ge1-ge10, xge1-xge2
  • NX 9000 series - ge1, ge2 (10GigE ports (xge1-xge4) are available on NX9610 models)

The GE ports are RJ-45 ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps or 10/100/1000/2500/5000 Mbps.

The UP ports supports either RJ-45 or fiber. The UP port is the preferred means to connect to the backbone because it has a non-blocking 1gbps connection unlike the GE ports.

The following ports are available on access points:

  • AP505i: GE1/POE (LAN), GE2 (LAN)
  • AP510i/e: GE1/POE (LAN), GE2/POE (LAN)
  • AP560i/h: GE1/POE (LAN), GE2/POE (LAN)

The following example uses the config-profile-nx9500-6C8809 instance to configure a GigabitEthernet interface:
