Initially Configuring the ATM Uplink Interface

You should configure the following properties for a newly installed ATM uplink interface:

IP routing

IP address

To initially configure the ATM uplink interface, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

Router(config)# ip routing

Enables IP routing.

Step 2

 

 

Router(config)# interface atm

Enters interface configuration mode and specifies the ATM

 

slot/subslot/interface

interface to configure.

 

Router(config-if)#

 

Step 3

 

 

Router(config-if)# ip address

Assigns an IP address and subnet mask to the interface.

 

ip-address subnet-mask

 

Step 4

 

 

Router(config-if)# atm clock

Specifies the internal clock for the interface. The default mode

 

internal

for the clock is no internal, which is the same as the line clock.

Step 5

 

 

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Enables the interface with the previous configurations.
