Removing the Slide Lock

After you have replaced the connector locks, reenable the interfaces by entering the command no shutdown, as shown in the following partial example.

interface ethernet 1/1

no shutdown

You can display the current state of an individual Ethernet interface by entering the command show interface type slot/port, or you can omit the interface type and address to display interface information for all network interfaces in the router.

Following is a partial, sample session that displays information about the ﬁrst Ethernet port (port 0) on an EIP installed in slot 1. Only the ﬁrst few lines of the display are included in the example, because the state of the interface (up or down) is indicated on the ﬁrst line of the display.

Router>show interface ethernet 1/0

Ethernet1/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down Hardware is cxBus Ethernet, address is 0000.0c (bia.0c02.d0cc) (display text deleted)

Router>show int eth 1/1

Ethernet1/1 is up, line protocol is up

Hardware is cxBus Ethernet, address is 0000.0c (bia.0c02.d0ce) (display text deleted)

You can also use the show conﬁguration command to display the status of all interfaces. Refer to the 9.17 Addendum to the Router Products Conﬁguration and Reference publication for complete command descriptions and instructions.

The bracket for slide-type locks is secured to the EIP port with two small screws. You can complete this replacement procedure without removing the EIP from the chassis. Follow these steps to remove the slide-type locks from the EIP ports.

Step 1: Ensure that the ESD-prevention strap you are wearing is clipped to a captive installation screw on the power supply or another unpainted area of the chassis where it makes good contact.

Step 2: On the ﬁrst connector port to be changed, use the 1/8-inch screwdriver to loosen and remove the two small screws that secure the bracket to the connector port.

Step 3: Pull the slide-lock bracket, which is shown in Figure 5, off the connector.
