Configuring the Cisco EtherSwitch Service Module in the Router
This section describes how to perform the initial configuration on the router with a Cisco EtherSwitch
service module installed. This section also describes the initial configuration on the Cisco EtherSwitch
service module itself. Once an IP address has been configured on the Gigabit Ethernet interface on the
router (representing the Cisco EtherSwitch service module), you can open a console session to the
Cisco EtherSwitch service module and configure its Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for
Layer 2 or Layer 3 functionality.
Once the Cisco EtherSwitch service module interface has been configured and you boot up the service
module image, you can switch back and forth between the router and the service module.
