Example	switch (config interface mgmt0)# duplex auto
Related Commands	show interfaces <ifname>
Notes	Setting the duplex to “auto” also sets the speed to “auto” Setting the duplex to one of the settings “half” or “full” also sets the speed to a manual setting which is determined by querying the interface to find out its current auto-detected state

Default	auto
Configuration Mode	config interface management
History	3.1.0000
Example	switch (config interface mgmt0)# speed auto
Related Commands	show interfaces <ifname>
Notes	Setting the speed to “auto” also sets the duplex to “auto” Setting the speed to one of the manual settings (generally “10”, “100”, or “1000”) also sets the duplex to a manual setting which is determined by querying the interface to find out its current auto-detected state

dhcp

	dhcp [renew] no dhcp Enables DHCP on the specified interface. The no form of the command disables DHCP on the specified interface.
Syntax Description	renew	Forces a renewal of the IP address. A restart on the DHCP client for the specified interface will be issued.
Default	Could be enabled or disabled (per part number) manufactured with 3.2.0500
Configuration Mode	config interface management
History	3.1.0000 3.9.1900: Added note
Example	switch (config interface mgmt0)# dhcp
Related Commands	show interfaces <ifname> configured
Notes	When enabling DHCP, the IP address and netmask are received via DHCP hence, the static IP address configuration is ignored Enabling DHCP disables zeroconf and vice versa Setting a static IP address and netmask does not disable DHCP. DHCP is disabled using the “no” form of this command, or by enabling zeroconf. When static IP is configured, DHCP will not run.

dhcp hostname

	dhcp hostname no dhcp hostname Enables fetching the hostname from DHCP for this interface. The no form of the command disables fetching the hostname from DHCP for this interface.
Syntax Description	N/A
Default	Enabled
Configuration Mode	config interface management
History	3.5.1000
Example	switch (config interface mgmt0)# dhcp hostname
Related Commands	hostname <hostname> show interfaces <ifname> configured
Notes	If a hostname is configured manually by the user, that configuration would override the “dhcp hostname” configuration When a default hostname is not configured, the DHCP server assigns the new hostname for your machine (after upgrading to version 3.5.1000) These commands do not work on in-band interfaces

shutdown

	shutdown no shutdown Disables the specified interface. The no form of the command enables the specified interface.
Syntax Description	N/A
Default	no shutdown
Configuration Mode	config interface management
History	3.1.0000

Syntax Description	N/A
Default	no zeroconf
Configuration Mode	config interface management
History	3.1.0000
Example	switch (config interface mgmt0)# zeroconf
Related Commands	show interfaces <ifname> configured
Notes	Enabling zeroconf disables DHCP and vice versa.

ipv6 enable

	ipv6 enable no ipv6 enable Enables all IPv6 addressing for this interface. The no form of the command disables all IPv6 addressing for this interface.
Syntax Description	N/A
Default	IPv6 addressing is disabled
Configuration Mode	config interface management
History	3.1.0000
Example	switch (config interface mgmt0)# ipv6 enable
Related Commands	ipv6 address show interface <ifname>
Notes	The interface identifier is a 64-bit long modified EUI-64, which is based on the MAC address of the interface If IPv6 is enabled on an interface, the system will automatically add a link-local address to the interface. Link-local addresses can only be used to communicate with other hosts on the same link, and packets with link-local addresses are never forwarded by a router. A link-local address, which may not be removed, is required for proper IPv6 operation. The link-local addresses start with “fe80::”, and are combined with the interface identifier to form the complete address.

ipv6 address

	ipv6 address {<IPv6 address/netmask> \| autoconfig [default \| privacy]} no ipv6 {<IPv6 address/netmask> \| autoconfig [default \| privacy]} Configures IPv6 address and netmask to this interface, static or autoconfig options are possible. The no form of the command removes the given IPv6 address and netmask or disables the autoconfig options.
Syntax Description	IPv6 address/netmask	Configures a static IPv6 address and netmask. Format example: 2001:db8:1234::5678/64.
	autoconfig	Enables IPv6 stateless address auto configuration (SLAAC) for this interface. An address will be automatically added to the interface based on an IPv6 prefix learned from router advertisements, combined with an interface identifier.
	autoconfig default	Enables default learning routes. The default route will be discovered automatically, if the autoconfig is enabled.
	autoconfig privacy	Uses privacy extensions for SLAAC to construct the autoconfig address, if the autoconfig is enabled.
Default	No IP address available, auto config is enabled
Configuration Mode	config interface management
History	3.1.0000
Example	switch (config interface mgmt0)# ipv6 fe80::202:c9ff:fe5e:a5d8/64
Related Commands	ipv6 enable show interface <ifname>
Notes	On a given interface, up to 16 addresses can be configured For Ethernet, the default interface identifier is a 64-bit long modified EUI-64, which is based on the MAC address of the interface

	-m	Sets the max number of hops (max TTL to be reached). Default is 30.
	-N	Sets the number of probes to be tried simultaneously (default is 16)
	-p	Uses destination port. It is an initial value for the UDP destination port (incremented by each probe, default is 33434), for the ICMP seq number (incremented as well, default from 1), and the constant destination port for TCP tries (default is 80).
	-t	Sets the TOS (IPv4 type of service) or TC (IPv6 traffic class) value for outgoing packets
	-l	Uses specified flow_label for IPv6 packets
	-w	Sets the number of seconds to wait for response to a probe (default is 5.0). Non-integer (float point) values allowed too.
	-s	Uses source src_addr for outgoing packets.
	-q	Sets the number of probes per each hop. Default is 3.
	-z	Sets minimal time interval between probes (default is 0). If the value is more than 10, then it specifies a number in milliseconds, else it is a number of seconds (float point values allowed too).
