Chapter 5 Configuring Interfaces on the ML-Series Card

Basic Interface Configuration

Basic Interface Configuration

The following general configuration instructions apply to all interfaces. Before you configure interfaces, develop a plan for a bridge or routed network.

To configure an interface, do the following:

Step 1 Enter the configure EXEC command at the privileged EXEC prompt to enter global configuration mode. The key word your-passwordis the password set up by the user in the initial configuration of the ML-Series card.

ML_Series> enable

Password:<your-password>

ML_Series# configure terminal

ML_Series(config)#

Step 2 Enter the interface command, followed by the interface type (for example, fastethernet or pos) and its interface port ID (see the “Interface Port ID” section on page 5-2).

For example, to configure a Fast Ethernet port, enter this command:

ML_Series(config)# interface fastethernet number

Step 3 Follow each interface command with the interface configuration commands required for your particular interface.

The commands you enter define the protocols and applications that will run on the interface. The ML-Series card collects and applies commands to the interface command until you enter another interface command or a command that is not an interface configuration command. You can also enter end to return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4 Check the status of the configured interface by entering the EXEC show interface command.

ML_Series# show interfaces fastethernet 0 FastEthernet0 is up, line protocol is up
