Configuring the Basic Interface Parameters
This example shows how to set the carrier delay timer to 20 seconds for VLAN 5:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface vlan 5
switch(config-if)# carrier-delay 20
switch(config-if)#
Configuring Port Profiles
You can apply several configuration parameters to a range of interfaces simultaneously. All the interfaces
in the range must be the same type. You can also inherit the configurations from one port profile into
another port profile. The system supports four levels of inheritance.
This section includes the following topics:
• Creating a Port Profile, page 2-43
• Entering Port-Profile Configuration Mode and Modifying a Port Profile, page 2-44
• Assigning a Port Profile to a Range of Interfaces, page 2-45
• Enabling a Specific Port Profile, page 2-46
• Inheriting a Port Profile, page 2-47
• Removing a Port Profile from a Range of Interfaces, page 2-48
• Removing an Inherited Port Profile, page 2-50
Creating a Port Profile
You can create a port profile on the device. Each port profile must have a unique name across types and
the network.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. port-profile [type {ethernet | interface-vlan | loopback | port channel | tunnel}] name
3. exit
4. show port-profile
5. copy running-config startup-config
