Cisco Systems PA-FE-FX, PA-FE-TX manual Checking the Configuration

Page 59

To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the “Checking the

Configuration” section on page 8-9.

Checking the Configuration

After configuring the new interface, use the show commands to display the status of the new interface or all interfaces and the ping command to check connectivity.

Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status

The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and operating correctly.

Step 1

Use the show version command to display the system hardware configuration. Ensure

 

that the list includes the new interfaces.

 

Step 2

Display the current port adapters and interfaces as follows:

 

• For the Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series, and the Cisco uBR7200 series, display

 

 

all the current port adapters and their interfaces with the show controllers command.

 

 

Verify that the new PA-FE appears in the correct slot.

 

• For the VIP2, display all the current interface processors and their interfaces with the

 

 

show controllers cbus command. Verify that the new VIP2 appears in the correct slot.

Step 3

Specify the new interfaces as follows:

 

 

• For the Cisco 7100, Cisco 7200 series and the Cisco uBR7200 series, specify one of

 

 

the new interfaces with the show interfaces port adapter type slot/interface command

 

 

and verify that the first line of the display specifies the interface with the correct slot

 

 

number. Also verify that the interface and line protocol are in the correct state: up or

 

 

down.

 

 

 

 

 

Note For the Cisco 7206VXR and Cisco 7206 router shelves, the show interfaces

 

command requires a shelf number in the format show interfaces type shelf number/port

 

adapter slot/interface.

 

 

 

 

 

• For the VIP2, specify one of the new interfaces with the show interfaces type

 

 

slot/port-adapter/interfacecommand and verify that the first line of the display

 

 

specifies the interface with the correct slot number. Also verify that the interface and

 

 

line protocol are in the correct state: up or down.

Step 4

Display the protocols configured for the entire system and specific interfaces with the

 

show protocols command. If necessary, return to configuration mode to add or remove

 

protocol routing on the system or specific interfaces.

Step 5

Display the running configuration file with the

show running-config command. Display

 

the configuration stored in NVRAM using the

show startup-config command. Verify

that the configuration is accurate for the system and each interface.
