Interfaces

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

Configuration notes

All Dell EMC PowerSwitches except MX-Series, 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.
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.
