router(config)# interface serial 1/0/0
•For a Catalyst RSM/VIP2, specify the interface to configure by entering the subcommand interface serial, followed by the
router(config)# interface serial 0/0
Step 3 If IP routing is enabled on the system, change to interface configuration mode and use the ip address configuration subcommand to assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface, as in the following example:
Step 4 In interface configuration mode, choose the internal clock source by entering the clock source configuration subcommand, as in the following example:
Use the no form of this command to restore the default clock source, which is line.
Step 5 In interface configuration mode, change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:
Step 6 Configure additional interfaces as required.
Step 7 When you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the configuration, press
Step 8 Write the new configuration to nonvolatile memory as follows:
router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
router#
To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the section “Using show
