CEF Interface Settings Page
Tip After you have defined a CEF interface settings policy, you can share the policy and assign it to other
devices. This provides a convenient method for configuring multiple devices with identical settings. See
Working with Shared Policies in Device View or the Site-to-Site VPN Manager, page 5-34.
Before You Begin
Define basic interface settings. See Basic Interface Settings on Cisco IOS Routers, page59-1.
Step 1 Do one of the following:
•(Device view) Select Interfaces > Settings > CEF from the Policy selector.
•(Policy view) Select Router Interfaces > Settings > CEF from the Policy Type selector. Select an
existing policy or create a new one.
The CEF Interface Settings page is displayed. See CEF Interface Settings Page, page 59-25 for an
explanation of the fields on this page.
Step 2 If you are enabling CEF, select the accounting options you desire.
Step 3 If you want to configure non-default behavior for certain interfaces, add them to the CEF Interface
Settings table. Click the Add button below the table to add interfaces to the list, or select an interface
and click the Edit button to change the settings for an existing interface. For more information about the
options, see CEF Interface Settings Dialog Box, page 59-26.
CEF Interface Settings Page
Use the CEF Interface Settings page to define the settings for Cisco Express Forwarding. CEF is an
advanced Layer 3 IP switching technology that optimizes network performance and scalability for all
kinds of networks, from those that carry small amounts of traffic to those that carry large amounts of
traffic in complex patterns, such as the Internet and networks characterized by intensive web-based
applications or interactive sessions. CEF is enabled by default on most Cisco IOS routers.
