Chapter6 Edit Interface/Connection
Interface List
The interface list displays the physical interfaces and the logical connections to
which they are configured.
Interfaces
This column lists the physical and logical interfaces by name. If a logical interface
is configured for a physical interface, the logical interface is shown under the
physical interface.
If Cisco SDM is running on a Cisco 7000 family router, you will be able to create
a connection only on Ethernet and Fast Ethernet interfaces.
IP Address
This column can contain the following types of IP addresses:
The configured IP address of the interface.
DHCP Client—The interface receives an IP address from a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
IP address negotiated—The interface receives an IP address through
negotiation with the remote device.
IP unnumbered—The router will use one of a pool of IP addresses supplied
by your service provider for your router, and for the devices on the LAN.
Not Applicable—The interface type cannot be assigned an IP address.
Type
The Type column displays the interface type, such as Ethernet, serial, or ATM.
Slot
The number of the physical slot in the router that the interface is installed in. If
Cisco SDM is running on a Cisco 1710 router, the slot field is empty.
Status
This column shows whether this interface is up or down. The green icon with the
upward-pointing arrowhead indicates the interface is up. The red icon with the
downward-pointing arrowhead indicates that the interface is down.
