Configuration System (Setup); Ip Address And Interface Configuration - Cisco 2610XM Configuration

1.4 Configuration System (Setup)

In privileged EXEC mode you can setup the whole system, for example setup network
cards, put IP addresses, start simple RIP routing.
Router#setup
In Cisco routers interfaces are named as FastEthernet0/0 and FastEthernet0/1. Some of
our lab routers also include serial cable interfaces. Numbering is same like above.

1.5 IP Address and Interface Configuration

If you don't like to put IP address like in 1.4 Configuration System (Setup), you can put
them with the following instructions.
In privileged EXEC mode give the next command:
Router#config terminal
Then enter the interface type port to enter the interface configuration mode.
Router(config)#interface FastEthernet0/0
Now you are in interface configuration mode and you can modify this chosen interface.
Enter the IP address and subnet mask of the interface using ip address ipaddress
subnetmask command.
Router(config-if)#ip address 10.12.0.1 255.255.255.252
In this mode you can give parameters like for example hello protocol interval in OSPF
for an interface. Exit interface configuration mode by giving command Ctrl-Z.
