Configuring LAN Interfaces

Configuring an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet Interface

With the Catalyst 3000 or Catalyst 5000 system, the Fast Ethernet processor can be used to aggregate up to twelve 10-Mbps LANs and give them high-speed access to such Layer 3 routing services as providing firewalls and maintaining access lists.

Cisco 7200 series routers support an I/O controller with an RJ-45 interface. You can configure the optional Fast Ethernet port for use at 100-Mbps full-duplex or half-duplex operation (half duplex is the default). The Fast Ethernet port is equipped with either a single MII receptacle or an MII receptacle and an RJ-45 receptacle. To support this new feature, the media-typeinterface command has been modified. The media-typeinterface command now supports two options:

•100basex—Specifies an RJ-45 100BASE-X physical connection.

•mii—Specifies a media-independent interface.

Second-generation Fast Ethernet Interface Processors (FEIP2-DSW-2TX and FEIP2-DSW-2FX) are available on Cisco 7500 series routers and on Cisco 7000 series routers with the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI). The FEIP2-DSW is a dual-port, fixed-configuration interface processor that provides two 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet (FE) interfaces. Each interface on the FEIP2-DSW supports half-duplex only for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 200 Mbps.

Refer to the Cisco Product Catalog for specific platform and hardware compatibility information.

Use the show interfaces, show controllers mci, and show controllers cbus EXEC commands to display the Ethernet port numbers. These commands provide a report for each interface supported by the router or access server.

Use the show interface fastethernet command to display interface statistics, and use the show controller fastethernet to display the information about the Fast Ethernet controller chip. The output shows statistics, including information about initialization block information, transmit ring, receive ring and errors.

For information on how to configure Fast EtherChannel, see the tasks listed in the “Configuring Fast EtherChannel” section.
