Interfaces

You can configure and monitor physical interfaces (Ethernet), port-channels, and virtual local area networks (VLANs) in Layer 2 (L2) or Layer 3 (L3) modes.

Table 1. Interface types Interface types
Interface type	Supported	Default mode	Requires creation	Default status
Ethernet (PHY)	L2, L3	unset	No	no shutdown enabled
Management	N/A	N/A	No	no shutdown enabled
Loopback	L3	L3	Yes	no shutdown enabled
Port-channel	L2, L3	unset	Yes	no shutdown enabled
VLAN	L2, L3	L3	Yes, except default	no shutdown enabled

Configuration notes

All Dell PowerSwitches except S4200-Series, S5200 Series, and Z9332F-ON:
- To avoid loops in an L2 network with statically configured port channels, keep the no switchport configuration on an interface after you remove its port-channel configuration using the no interface port-channel command.
- On a S4148-ON switch, 10GBASE-T transceiver cannot operate at 100M or 1G speed.
S3048-ON platform: During reload of S3048-ON, copper GbE ports transiently become operationally up for around 80 seconds, and then they go down. This is a known hardware behavior.
N3248TE platform: SmartFabric OS10 supports 48 x 1 Gig and 4 x 10 Gig interfaces when running on the N3248TE platform. Stacking is not supported in SmartFabric OS10. Therefore, you cannot reconfigure stacking ports as uplinks or downlinks when running SmartFabric OS10 on the N3248TE platform.
When the 1GBASE-T optic is plugged on a 100G port using a QSA adapter on a device and the RJ45 end is plugged into the copper port of the peer, there is a slight delay during the link up or down events.
