Configuring the Cisco 12008

At the global configuration mode prompt, enter the interface type slot/port command to enter the interface configuration mode:

Router(config)# interface type slot/port

Router(config-if)#

This command accepts either POS or ATM as the type argument.

In either the global configuration mode or the interface configuration mode, you can change the router’s configuration parameters.

To exit either mode, type Ctrl-Z.

Step 5 Save your configuration settings, as described in the section entitled “Saving the Running Configuration Settings to NVRAM.”

Your router is now minimally configured and able to boot using the currently established configuration information.

To display a list of the configuration commands available to you, enter a question mark (?) at the global configuration mode prompt (Router(config)#) or press the help key.

Verifying the Running Configuration Settings

You may want to verify the running configuration settings or any changes made to the running configuration settings before they are saved. To do so, issue the show running- config command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt.

Typical output from this command is shown in the following sections for the following types of line cards:

Quad OC-3c/STM-1c POS

OC-12c/STM-4c POS

OC-12c/STM-4c ATM
