Chapter 3 Starting and Configuring the Router

Functional Overview

Chassis Slot and Logical Interface Numbering

In the Cisco 7201 router, the port-adapter-slot-numberis the chassis slot in which a port adapter is installed, whereas the logical-interface-numberis the physical location of the interface port on a port adapter.

The port adapter slot in the Cisco 7201 router is numbered slot 1. Port adapter slot 0 is always reserved for logical port 10/100/1000.

The Media Access Control (MAC) or hardware address is a standardized data link layer address that is required for certain network interface types. These addresses are not used by other devices in the network; they are specific and unique to each port. The Cisco 7201 router uses a specific method to assign and control the MAC addresses of its port adapters. For a description of the MAC address, see the “MAC Address” section on page 3-3.

You can identify port adapter slots by using software commands. To display information about all port adapter slots, use the show interfaces command. To display information about a specific port adapter slot, use the show interfaces command with the port adapter type and slot number in the format show interfaces port-adapter-typeslot-number/port-number. If you abbreviate the command (sh int) and do not specify port adapter type and slot number (or arguments), the system interprets the command as show interfaces and displays the status of all port adapters and ports.

The following example shows how the show interfaces command, used without arguments, displays status information (including the physical port adapter number) for the port adapter in a Cisco 7201 router.

In the following example, most of the status information for each interface is omitted.

You can also use arguments such as the interface type (Ethernet, Token Ring, ATM, and so forth) and the port address (slot-number/port-number) to display information about a specific interface only.
