Configuring the Interfaces

Configuring the Interfaces
After you verify that the new 6E3 line card is installed correctly (the STATUS LED turns green), use the
privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Have the following information
available:
•

•
•
•
If you installed a new 6E3 line card or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface,
you must enter configuration mode to configure the new interfaces. If you replaced a 6E3 line card that
was previously configured, the system recognizes the new interfaces and brings each of them up in their
existing configuration.
For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring interfaces on a 6E3
line card, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the
section on page
You execute configuration commands from the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter, which
usually requires password access. Contact your system administrator, if necessary, to obtain password
access. (See the
privileged level of the EXEC.)

Shutting Down an Interface

Before you remove an interface that you will not replace, or replace line cards, use the shutdown
command to shut down (disable) the interfaces to prevent anomalies when you reinstall the new interface
processor. When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in the show
command displays.
Follow these steps to shut down an interface:
Enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (also called enable mode). (See the
Step 1

Step 2 At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal is the
source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Shut down interfaces by entering the interface serial subcommand (followed by the interface address of
