Chapter 4 Configuring Interfaces on the ML-Series Card

Monitoring Operations on the Fast Ethernet Interfaces

 

Command

Purpose

Step 3

 

 

ML_Series(config-if)# shutdown

Manually shuts down the interface. Encapsulation

 

 

changes on POS ports are allowed only when the

 

 

interface is shut down (ADMIN_DOWN).

Step 4

 

 

ML_Series(config-if)# encapsulation type

Sets the encapsulation type. Valid values are:

 

 

• hdlc—Cisco high-level data link control

 

 

(HDLC)

 

 

• lex—(Default) LAN extension, special

 

 

encapsulation for use with Cisco ONS

 

 

Ethernet line cards

 

 

• ppp—Point-to-Point Protocol

 

 

Note Under GFP-F framing, the

 

 

ONS 15310-CLand ONS 15310-MA

 

 

ML-Series card is restricted to LEX

 

 

encapsulation.

Step 5

 

 

ML_Series(config-if)# no shutdown

Restarts the shutdown interface.

Step 6

 

 

ML_Series(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 7

 

 

ML_Series# copy running-config

(Optional) Saves configuration changes to

 

startup-config

NVRAM.

 

 

 

Monitoring Operations on the Fast Ethernet Interfaces

To verify the settings after you have configured the interfaces, enter the show interface command. For additional information on monitoring the operations on POS interfaces, see the “Configuring POS on the ML-Series Card” chapter.

Example 4-2shows the output from the show interface command, which displays the status of the interface including port speed and duplex operation.

Example 4-2 show interface Command Output

ML_Series# show interface fastethernet 0

15310-CL, 15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has established itself as a leader in the networking domain, offering a wide array of solutions to meet the needs of modern businesses. Among its impressive product lineup are the Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA routers, designed to provide advanced network performance and reliability.

The Cisco 15310-CL is a versatile platform that primarily serves as a carrier-class router aimed at supporting high-speed data and voice services. It is built to handle the demands of large enterprises and service providers, offering a robust design that ensures maximum uptime and performance. One of its standout features is its modular architecture, which enables users to customize their configurations based on specific application needs. This scalability allows for future expansion without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

Key technologies integrated into the Cisco 15310-CL include high-density Ethernet interfaces and a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol support. The device is capable of supporting multiple types of connections, including TDM, ATM, and Ethernet. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for organizations that require seamless migration between various service types. Moreover, with features such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, the router ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance.

In contrast, the Cisco 15310-MA focuses on access solutions, providing a cost-effective entry point for businesses looking to enhance their network capabilities. It is well-suited for smaller offices or branch locations that need reliable connectivity without the expense and complexity associated with larger systems. The device supports a range of access methods and provides essential features like firewall capabilities, VPN support, and comprehensive security measures to protect sensitive data.

Both models benefit from Cisco's commitment to security and manageability, offering features like enhanced encryption protocols and user authentication mechanisms that help safeguard networks against threats. Additionally, they can be managed through Cisco’s intuitive software tools, simplifying configuration and monitoring tasks for IT administrators.

The Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA are ideal solutions for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure, ensuring firms can keep pace with evolving technology demands while maintaining a focus on security and performance. Their combination of advanced features, modular capabilities, and robust support makes them valuable assets in the networking landscape.
