Chapter 4 Configuring Interfaces on the ML-Series Card

General Interface Guidelines

To find MAC addresses for a device, use the show interfaces command, as follows:

ML_Series# show interfaces fastethernet 0

FastEthernet0 is up, line protocol is up

Hardware is epif_port, address is 000b.fcfa.339e (bia 000b.fcfa.339e) Description: 100 mbps full duplex q-in-q tunnel

MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 18/255, rxload 200/255

Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set Keepalive set (10 sec)

Full-duplex, 100Mb/s, 100BaseTX

ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00

Last input 00:00:00, output 00:00:00, output hang never

Last clearing of "show interface" counters never

Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0

Queueing strategy: weighted fair

Output queue: 0/1000/64/0 (size/max total/threshold/drops)

Conversations 0/0/256 (active/max active/max total) Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated) Available Bandwidth 75000 kilobits/sec

30 second input rate 78525000 bits/sec, 144348 packets/sec

30 second output rate 7363000 bits/sec, 13537 packets/sec

4095063706 packets input, 3885007012 bytes Received 0 broadcasts (0 IP multicast)

2 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles

4 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 1 overrun, 0 ignored 0 watchdog, 0 multicast

0 input packets with dribble condition detected

1463732665 packets output, 749573412 bytes, 0 underruns

131072 output errors, 131072 collisions, 0 interface resets

0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred

0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier

0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out

Interface Port ID

The interface port ID designates the physical location of the interface within the ML-Series card. It is the name that you use to identify the interface you are configuring. The system software uses interface port IDs to control activity within the ML-Series card and to display status information. Interface port IDs are not used by other devices in the network; they are specific to the individual ML-Series card and its internal components and software.

The ML-100T-8 port IDs for the eight Fast Ethernet interfaces are Fast Ethernet 0 through 7. The ML-Series card features two POS ports. The ML-Series port IDs for the two POS interfaces are POS 0 and 1. You can use user-defined abbreviations such as f0 through f7 to configure the eight Fast Ethernet interfaces, and POS0 and POS1 to configure the two POS ports.

You can use Cisco IOS show commands to display information about any or all the interfaces of the ML-Series card.
