Chapter 4 Configuring Interfaces
Configuring the Fast Ethernet Interfaces for the ML100X-8
Example 4-1 shows how to do the initial configuration of an ML100T-12 Fast Ethernet interface with an
IP address and autonegotiation.
Example 4-1 Initial Configuration of a ML100T-12 Fast Ethernet Interface
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 1
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.1.2.4 255.0.0.0
Router(config-if)# negotiation auto
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# end
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Configuring the Fast Ethernet Interfaces for the ML100X-8
The ML100X-8 supports 100BASE-FX full-duplex data transmission. You cannot configure
autonegotiation or speed on its Fast Ethernet interfaces. The card also features automatic
medium-dependent interface crossover (Auto-MDIX) enabled by default. Auto-MDIX automatically
detects the required cable connection type (straight-through or cro ssover) and configures the connection
appropriately. To configure the IP address or bridge-group number, or flow control on a Fast Ethernet
interface, perform the following procedure, beginning in global configur ation mode:
Step 5 Router(config-if)# flowcontrol send {on |
off | desired}
(Optional) Sets the send flow control value for an
interface. Flow control works only with port-level
policing. ML-Series card Fast Ethernet port flow
control is IEEE 802.3x compliant.
Note Since Fast Ethernet ports support only
symmetric flow control the flowcontrol
send command controls both the receive
and send flow control operations.
Step 6 Router(config-if)# no shutdown Enables the interface by preventing it from
shutting down.
Step 7 Router(config)# end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 8 Router# copy running-config startup-config (Opti onal) Saves your configuration changes to
TCC2/TCC2P flash database.
