From global configuration mode, you can access three additional configuration modes: The interface, router, and route-mapcommands are used to access their respective configuration modes.

3.3.1 Interface Configuration Mode

Many features are enabled on a per-interface basis. Interface configuration commands modify the operation of an interface such as an Ethernet or serial port. Interface configuration commands always follow an interface global configuration command, which defines the interface type (Ethernet or Virtual interfaces. The virtual interfaces are bound to VLANs and can be assigned IP addresses).

In the following example, Ethernet interface eth1 is about to be configured. The new prompt, Router(config-if-eth1)#, indicates the interface configuration mode. In this example, the user asks for help by requesting a list of commands.

Router(config)# interface eth1

Router(config-if-eth1)# ?

description	Interface specific description
end	End current mode and change to enable mode
exit	Exit current mode and down to previous mode
help	Description of the interactive help system
ip	Interface Internet Protocol config commands
mtu	Set the interface Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
no	Negate a command or set its defaults
quit	Exit current mode and down to previous mode
shutdown	Shutdown the selected interface
spanning-tree	Spanning Tree Protocol interface command
switchport	Port operating in L2 mode

Router(config-if-eth1)#

To exit interface configuration mode and return to global configuration mode, enter the exit command. To exit configuration mode and return to top mode, use the end command or press Ctrl-Z.
