Chapter 4 Configuring Interfaces

Instructions for Configuring Interfaces

The following general configuration instructions apply to all interfaces. Before you configure interfaces,
develop a plan for a bridge or routed network.
To configure an interface, do the following:
Router or Switch is used as a generic prompt in documentation. Your specific prompt will vary.
Note
Enter the configure EXEC command at the privileged EXEC prompt to enter global configuration mode.
Step 1
Router> enable
Password:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#
Step 2 Enter the interface command, followed by the interface type (for example, fastethernet, gigabitethernet,
or pos), and its interface port ID (see the
For example, to configure a Gigabit Ethernet port, enter this command:
Router(config)# interface gigabit-ethernet- number
Follow each interface command with the interface configuration commands required for your particular
Step 3
interface.
The commands you enter define the protocols and applications that will run on the interface. The
ML-Series card collects and applies commands to the interface command until you enter another
interface command or a command that is not an interface configuration command. You can also enter
end to return to privileged EXEC mode.
Check the status of the configured interface by entering the EXEC show interface command.
Step 4
Router# sh interface fastEthernet 0
FastEthernet0 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is epif_port, address is 0005.9a39.6634 (bia 0005.9a39.6634)
