Chapter 1 Configuring Interfaces and Circuits

Interface and Circuit Overview

Table 1-1 Interface and Circuit Configuration Quick Start (continued)

Task and Command Example

7.(Optional) Display all circuit information for circuits that are currently active.

(config-if[2/1])# show circuit all

8.(Optional) Display the interface configuration.

(config-if[2/1])# show interface (config-if[2/1])# exit

9.Configure circuits as required. Assign an IP address and subnet mask to each circuit.

(config)# circuit VLAN1

(config-circuit[VLAN1])# ip address 10.3.6.58/24

(config)# circuit VLAN3

(config-circuit[VLAN3])# ip address 10.3.6.60/24 (config-circuit-ip[VLAN3-10.3.6.60])# exit

10.(Optional) Display the circuit configuration.

(config-circuit[VLAN1])# show circuit all

11.(Recommended) Save your configuration changes to the startup-configuration file. If you do not save the running configuration, all configuration changes are lost upon reboot.

# copy running-config startup-config

The following running-configuration example shows the results of entering the commands in Table 1-1.
