Chapter 4 Configuring Interfaces
Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet Interface for the ML1000-2
Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet Interface for the ML1000-2
To configure IP address or bridge-group number, autonegotiation, and flow control on an ML1000-2
Gigabit Ethernet interface, perform the following procedure, beginning in global configuration mode :
Note The default setting for the negotiation mode is auto for the Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet interfaces.
The Gigabit Ethernet port always operates at 1000 Mbps in full-du plex mode.
Step 3 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 4 Router(config-if)# no shutdown Enables the interface by preventing it from
shutting down.
Step 5 Router(config)# end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6 Router# copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Saves your configuration changes to
TCC2/TCC2P flash database.
Command Purpose
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router# interface gigabitethernet
number
Activates interface configuration mode to
configure the Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Step 2 Router(config-if)# {ip address
ip-address
subnet-mask
| bridge-group
bridge-group-number
}
Sets the IP address and subnet mask.
or
Assigns a network interface to a bridge group.
Step 3 Router(config-if)# [no] negotiation auto Sets negotiation mode to auto. The Gigabit
Ethernet port attempts to negotiate the link with
the partner port.
If you want the port to force the link up no matter
what the partner port setting is, set the Gigabit
Ethernet interface to no negotiation auto.
Step 4 Router(config-if)# flowcontrol {send |
receive} {on | off | desired}
(Optional) Sets the send or receive flow control
value for an interface. Flow control works only
with port-level policing. ML-Series card Gigabit
Ethernet port flow control is IEEE 802.3z
compliant.
Step 5 Router(config-if)# no shutdown Enables the interface by preventing it from
shutting down.
