Chapter 1 Configuring Interfaces and Circuits

Configuring Circuits

Showing IP Interfaces

Use the show ip interfaces command to display configured IP interfaces on the CSS. The display includes the circuit state, IP address, broadcast address, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) settings, and Router Discovery Program (RDP) settings. For example:

#show ip interfaces

Table 1-11describes the fields in the show ip interfaces command output.

Field

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Circuit Name

The name of the circuit associated with the IP interface.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

State

The state of the IP interface. The possible states are as

 

 

 

 

follows:

 

 

 

 

Active (1) - The interface is up

 

 

 

 

Disabled - The interface is disabled

 

 

 

 

NoCircuit - The interface is waiting for an underlying

 

 

 

 

circuit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP Address

The IP address assigned to the circuit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Network Mask

The network mask of the circuit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Broadcast Address

The broadcast IP address associated with the IP interface.

 

 

 

 

If left at zero, the all-ones host is used for numbered

 

 

 

 

interfaces. 255.255.255.255 is always used for

 

 

 

 

unnumbered interfaces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Redundancy

Indicates whether the redundancy protocol is running on

 

 

 

 

the interface. The default state is Disabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ICMP Redirect

Indicates whether the transmission of Internet Control

 

 

 

 

Message Protocol (ICMP) redirect messages is Enabled or

 

 

 

 

Disabled. The default state is Enabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ICMP Unreachable

Indicates whether the transmission of ICMP Destination

 

 

 

 

Unreachable messages is enabled or disabled. The default

 

 

 

 

state is Enabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RIP

Indicates whether RIP is Enabled or Disabled.
