Configure an Ethernet Interface
Step 1 To configure your system for an Ethernet LAN, respond to the prompts as follows, using your own IP address and subnet mask information:
Configuring interface parameters:
Configuring interface Ethernet0/0: Is this interface in use? [no]: yes Configure IP on this interface? [no]: yes IP address for this interface: 1.1.1.10 Number of bits in subnet field [0]:
Class A network is 1.0.0.0, 0 subnet bits; mask is 255.0.0.0
Step 2 Enter yes to enable IPX on this interface,
using the IPX network number:
Configure IPX on this interface? [no]: yes IPX network number [2]:
Step 3 Enter yes to enable AppleTalk on this interface, to configure for extended AppleTalk networks, and then enter the cable range number. Enter the zone name and any other additional zones that will be associated with your local zone:
Configure AppleTalk on this interface? [no]:
yes
Extended AppleTalk network? [no]: yes AppleTalk starting cable range [0]:
Configure a Synchronous Serial Interface
Step 1 Enter yes to configure serial port 0:
Configuring interface Serial1/0: Is this interface in use? [no]: yes
Step 2 Determine which protocols you want to allow on the synchronous serial interface and enter the appropriate responses:
Configure IP unnumbered on this interface? [no]:
IP address for this interface: 1.1.1.20 Number of bits in subnet field [0]:
Class A network is 1.0.0.0, 0 subnet bits; mask is 255.0.0.0
Configure IPX on this interface? [no]: yes IPX network number [2]:
Configure AppleTalk on this interface? [no]:
yes
Extended AppleTalk network? [no]:
AppleTalk network number [1]:

Your Cisco 7505 router is now minimally configured and ready to use. If you want to modify the parameters after the initial configuration, use the setup command. To perform more complex configurations, use the configure command. For more information on additional interface configuration and information on more specific system configurations, refer to the Cisco 7500 Series Installation and Configuration Guide.
