Configuring Interfaces
Following are the steps for configuring interfaces to allow communication over a LAN or
WAN. To configure the interface parameters, you need your interface network addresses
and subnet mask information. Consult with your network administrator for this
information.

prompts as follows:
Configuring interface parameters:
Configuring interface ATM1/0:
Is this interface in use? [yes]:
Configure IP on this interface? [yes]:
IP address for this interface: 1.1.1.10
Number of bits in subnet field [0]:
Class C network is 1.1.1.0, 0 subnet bits; mask is /24
Determine if you are going to enable IPX on this interface; if you are, enter the
unique IPX network number:
Configure IPX on this interface? [no]: yes
IPX network number [2]:
If you are using AppleTalk on the interface, enter yes. Enter yes to configure for
extended AppleTalk networks, and then enter the cable range number. Enter the
zone name and any other additional zones that are associated with your local
zone:
Configure AppleTalk on this interface? [no]: yes
Extended AppleTalk network? [no]: yes
AppleTalk starting cable range [0]:
Save your settings to NVRAM. (See the "Saving the Running Configuration to
NVRAM" section on page 17.)
