Configuring LAN Interfaces

Configuring an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet Interface

Monitoring and Maintaining the PA-12E/2FE Port Adapter

After configuring the new interface, you can display its status and verify other information. To display information about the PA-12E/2FE port adapter, use the following commands in EXEC mode:

Command

Purpose

 

 

show version

Displays the configuration of the system hardware, the software version,

 

the names and sources of configuration files, and the boot image.

 

 

show controllers

Displays all current port adapters and their interfaces

 

 

show interface fastethernet slot/port

Displays the interfaces so you can verify that they have the correct slot

(ports 0 and 1)

number and that the interface and line protocol are in the correct state.

or

 

show interface ethernet slot/port

 

(ports 2 through 13)

 

 

 

show bridge group

Displays all bridge groups and their interfaces.

 

 

show interface ethernet slot/port irb

Displays the routed protocol so you can verify that it is configured

(ports 2 through 13)

correctly for each interface.

or

 

show interface fastethernet slot/port irb

 

(ports 0 and 1)

 

 

 

show protocols

Displays the protocols configured for the entire system and specific

 

interfaces.

 

 

show pas eswitch addresses fastethernet

Displays the Layer 2 learned addresses for each interface.

slot/port

 

(ports 0 and 1)

 

or

 

show pas eswitch addresses ethernet

 

slot/port

 

(ports 2 through 13)

 

 

 

more system:running-config

Displays the running configuration file.

 

 

more nvram:startup-config

Displays the configuration stored in NVRAM.

 

 

Configuring Bridge Groups Using the 12E/2FE VLAN Configuration WebTool

The 12E/2FE VLAN Configuration WebTool, shown in Figure 2, is a web browser-based Java applet that displays configured interfaces and bridge groups for PA-12E/2FE port adapters installed in Cisco routers. With the WebTool you can perform the following tasks:

Create and delete bridge groups (also referred to as VLANs)

Add and remove PA-12E/2FE interfaces from bridge groups

Assign colors to bridge groups and PA-12E/2FE interfaces

Administratively shut down (disable) and bring up (enable) PA-12E/2FE interfaces

View the bridge-group status of each PA-12E/2FE interface
