Back Card Bay and Interface Port Numbers

This section describes how to identify the back card bay and interface port numbers on the RPM-PR for all back card interface types.

Physical port addresses specify the physical location of each interface port, regardless of the type, on the RPM-PR. In the RPM-PR, this address is composed of a two-part number in the form

<interface bay number/interface port number>, as follows:

•<interface bay number> identifies the bay in which the back card is installed, either upper (1) or lower (2) bay.

•<interface port number> identifies the interface port(s) on the back card. FE cards have one interface number. 4E/B cards have four numbered interfaces.

For example, the following command specifies interface port 1 of the upper Ethernet back card in the RPM-PR. You need to enter this information to select a specific port on a back card or ATM interface.

Router(config)#interface fastEthernet 1/1

Also, you can identify interface ports by checking the bay/interface port location on the body of the RPM-PR or by using show commands to display information about a specific interface or all interfaces in the RPM-PR.

Configuring IP Addresses and Starting Ethernet Interfaces

The following steps describe how to configure IP address on the 4E/B Ethernet and the FE Fast Ethernet interfaces and how to start them up. Press Return after each step unless otherwise noted.

Note RPM-PR no longer supports the MGX-RJ45-4E Ethernet interface back card. You must use an MGX-RJ45-4E/B Ethernet card with Release 2.1 or later.

Step 1 At the privileged-level prompt, enter the command global configuration mode as follows:

Router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Step 2 To specify the interface to be configured, enter the following interface subcommand at the prompt.

interface <ethernet fastethernet> <bay>/<port>

Parameter	Description
<ethernet fastethernet>	Interface type to be configured.
<bay>	Back card location; 1=upper and 2=lower back card
<port>	Port number on the back card

Note The 4E/B interfaces are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, not 0, 1, 2, 3 as in other IOS platforms.

This example is for the upper (1) Ethernet back card in the RPM-PR in slot 11 of the switch. In this example, we configure a Fast Ethernet interface. The procedure you use to configure an Ethernet interface is identical except for specifying the Ethernet interface type.
