Chapter4 Configuring General Router Features

Managing Configuration Sessions

In the following example, the router enters interface configuration mode and the user selects a POS

interface for configuration. The command syntax is interface type rack/slot/module/port.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface POS 0/2/0/4

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)#

The command mode prompt changes from “(config)” to “(config-if)” and you can now enter

configuration commands for the specified interface.

Step5 To exit interface configuration mode and return to global configuration mode, enter the exit command.

To return to EXEC mode, enter the end command.

Managing Configuration Sessions

In the Cisco IOS XR software, the running (active) configuration can never be altered directly. All

configuration changes are entered into an inactive target configuration. When the target configuration is

ready for use, you can apply that configuration to the router w ith the commit command. This two-stage

process allows configuration changes to be made, edited, and verified before the actual running state of

the router is impacted.

Figure 4-6 illustrates the two-stage configuration process.

Figure4-6 Two-Stage Configuration Process

Global configuration mode is used to configure SDR features, such as routing protocols and interfaces.

Administration configuration mode is used to assign hardware components to SDRs and to configure

multishelf systems.
