Chapter3 Initially Configuring the ATMSw itch Router
Configuring the IP Interface
Examples
The following example shows how to use the show interfaces command to display the IP address of
interface ethernet0:
Switch# show interfaces ethernet 0
Ethernet0 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is SonicT, address is 0040.0b0a.1080 (bia 0040.0b0a.1080)
Internet address is 172.20.40.93/24
<information deleted>
The following example uses the more system:running-config command to display the IP address of
interface ethernet0:
Switch# more system:running-config
!
version XX.X
<information deleted>
!
interface Ethernet0
ip address 172.20.40.93 255.255.255.0

Testing the Ethernet Connection
After you have configured the IP address(es) for the Ethernet interface, test for connectivity between the
switch and a host. The host can reside anywhere in your network. To test for Ethernet connectivity, use
the following EXEC command:
The following example show how to test the Ethernet connectivity from the switch to a workstation with
an IP address of 172.20.40.201:
Switch# ping ip 172.20.40.201
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.20.40.201, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/202/1000 ms
Command Purpose
ping ip ip-address Tests the configuration using the ping command. The ping
command sends an echo request to the host specified in the
command line.
