To view which interfaces are enabled for Layer 3 data transmission, use the show ip interfaces brief command in EXEC
Privilege mode. In the following example, TenGigabitEthernet interface 1/6 is in Layer 3 mode because an IP address has been
assigned to it and the interface's status is operationally up.

To view only configured interfaces, use the show interfaces configured command in the EXEC Privilege mode. In the
previous example, TenGigabitEthernet interface 1/6 is in Layer 3 mode because an IP address has been assigned to it and the
interface's status is operationally up.
To determine which physical interfaces are available, use the show running-config command in EXEC mode. This command
displays all physical interfaces available on the line cards.

Enabling a Physical Interface

After determining the type of physical interfaces available, to enable and configure the interfaces, enter INTERFACE mode by using
the interface interface slot/port command.
1. Enter the keyword interface then the type of interface and slot/port information.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface interface
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
• For the Management interface on the RPM, enter the keyword ManagementEthernet then the slot/port information.
The slot range is from 0 to 1. The port range is 0.
2. Enable the interface.
