Default Ethernet Interface Configuration
Table 10-1 shows the Ethernet interface default configuration. For more details on the VLAN parameters
listed in the table, see Chapter 16, “Configuring VLANs.” For details on controlling traffic to the port,
see Chapter 21, “Configuring Port-Based Traffic Control.”
