Managing Interfaces

This chapter describes the management tasks that can be performed on the interfaces of the Cisco 12000 Series and the Cisco 10720 Router being managed using the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager application. A number of interface topics (and the order in which they should be carried out) are identified in Figure 6-1.

Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager Interface Naming Conventions

The interfaces under each linecard are named according to the names displayed by the IOS in the router, for example, interfaces under an ATM Linecard in slot 1 are named as: ATM 1-0, ATM 1-1, ATM 1-2, ATM 1-3 and interfaces on a POS Linecard in slot 3 are named as POS 3-0, POS 3-1 and so on.

Table 6-1lists abbreviated interface names for other linecards in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager.
