Chapter 3 Starting and Configuring the Router

Configuring a Cisco 7201 Router

Resetting the Interface

Should you have a problem with your interface and you want to try and reset it, use the command:

clear interface GigabitEthernet 0/X (where X is 0, 1, 2, or 3)

Clearing Counters

Interface counters may be cleared (reset) by using the command:

clear counters GigabitEthernet 0/X (where X is 0, 1, 2, or 3)

Note Using this command will not reset the interface.

Configuring Port Adapter Interfaces

Following are the steps for configuring interfaces to allow communication over a LAN or WAN. To configure the interface parameters, you need your interface network addresses and subnet mask information. Consult with your network administrator for this information.

Note Only one port adapter can be installed in the Cisco 7201 router. Following are three examples of three different interfaces that might be used.

Configuring ATM Interfaces

In the following example, an ATM interface in slot 1 is configured for an ATM LAN using IP. Follow these steps to configure an ATM interface:

Step 1 Using your own addresses and mask at the setup prompts, respond to the prompts as follows:

Configuring interface parameters:

Configuring interface ATM1/0:

Is this interface in use? [yes]:

Configure IP on this interface? [yes]:

IP address for this interface: 1.1.1.10

Number of bits in subnet field [0]:

Class C network is 1.1.1.0, 0 subnet bits; mask is /24

Step 2 Determine if you are going to enable IPX on this interface; if you are, enter the unique IPX network number:

Configure IPX on this interface? [no]: yes

IPX network number [2]:

Step 3 If you are using AppleTalk on the interface, enter yes. Enter yes to configure for extended AppleTalk networks, and then enter the cable range number. Enter the zone name and any other additional zones that are associated with your local zone:

Configure AppleTalk on this interface? [no]: yes

Extended AppleTalk network? [no]: yes

AppleTalk starting cable range [0]:
