Configuring the Interfaces
Step 3 Proceed through the remainder of the global parameter prompts, using the Return key to accept the defaults.
After the global parameters are configured, the system prompts you for interface configuration information, one interface at a time. Following is a partial display of the script for a previously configured interface:
Configuring interface parameters:
Configuring interface Token Ring0: Is this interface in use [yes]: Tokenring ring speed (4 or 16) [16] Configure IP on this interface? [yes]:
IP address for this interface: 131.108.6.67 (remainder of display text omitted)
Step 4 To accept the default at each prompt and retain the existing configuration information, press the Return key. When you reach the scripts for configuring new interfaces, enter the new configuration information at each prompt.
When all interfaces are configured, the system displays the entire configuration script followed by a prompt for which there is no default (you must enter yes or no):
Use this configuration [yes/no]:
Step 5 To use the configuration you created, enter yes. To discard the configuration file and begin the configuration process again, enter no.
If you entered yes at the prompt, the following message displays:
Press RETURN to get started!
The configuration process is complete. Proceed to the section “Checking the Configuration” on page 24. It provides show commands you can use to display and verify the configuration information.
Using the Configure EXEC Command
The configure EXEC command allows you to configure the interfaces for interface processors in the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series. At the privileged command level, enter the ? command to display a list of privileged level EXEC commands.
To display information about the interface, including the software and hardware versions and the controller status, use the show controller cxbus command. To display statistics about the interfaces, use the show interfaces command.
Identifying Slot and Interface Numbers
Use the show interfaces command to determine which interfaces you need to configure and to determine the interface type, slot numbers, and port numbers.
The number of ports you configure depends on the number of ports available on the interface processor. For example, if you install a TRIP with four ports in slot 0, configure the Token Ring interface for each of these ports as follows: 0/1, 0/2, 03/ and 0/4. The maximum number of ports available on the TRIP is four.
After identifying the port numbers for the interfaces, configure the interfaces as described in the section “Basic Configuration Guidelines” on page 23.
