Configuring Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces

This sections shows how to assign an IP address and interface description to an Ethernet interface on
your router.
For comprehensive configuration information on Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, see the
"Configuring LAN Interfaces" chapter of the Cisco IOS Interface and Hardware Component
Configuration Guide.
For information on interface numbering, see the quick start guide that shipped with your router.
Note Cisco 1841 and Cisco 2801 routers have a hardware limitation on the Fast Ethernet ports FE0/0 and
FE0/1. In half-duplex mode, when traffic reaches or exceeds 100% capacity (equal to or greater than 5
Mbps in each direction), the interface will experience excessive collisions and reset once per second. To
avoid this problem, traffic must be limited to less than 100% of capacity.
