Configuring POS Channel

You can configure a POS channel by creating a POS channel interface (port channel) and optionally assigning an IP address. All POS interfaces that are members of a POS channel should have the same port properties and be on the same ML-Series card.

Note

POS channel is only supported with G-Series card compatible (LEX) encapsulation.

 

 

 

 

To create a POS channel interface, perform the following procedure, beginning in global configuration

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

Router(config)# interface port-channel

Creates the POS channel interface. You can

 

channel-number

configure one POS channel on the ML-Series card.

Step 2

 

 

Router(config-if)# ip address ip-address

Assigns an IP address and subnet mask to the POS

 

subnet-mask

channel interface (required only for the Layer 3

 

 

POS channel).

Step 3

 

 

Router(config-if)# end

Exits to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4

 

 

Router# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves configuration changes to

 

 

NVRAM.
