Basic Fast Ethernet and POS Interface Configuration

ML-Series cards support Fast Ethernet and POS interfaces. This section provides some examples of configurations for all interface types.

To configure an IP address or bridge-group number on a Fast Ethernet or POS interface, perform the following procedure, beginning in global configuration mode:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

ML_Series(config)# interface type number

Activates interface configuration mode to

 

 

configure either the Fast Ethernet interface or the

 

 

POS interface.

Step 2

 

 

ML_Series(config-if)# {ip address

Sets the IP address and IP subnet mask to be

 

ip-address subnet-mask bridge-group

assigned to the interface.

 

bridge-group-number}

or

 

 

 

 

Assigns a network interface to a bridge group.

Step 3

 

 

ML_Series(config-if)# no shutdown

Enables the interface by preventing it from

 

 

shutting down.

Step 4

 

 

ML_Series(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5

 

 

ML_Series# copy running-config

(Optional) Saves configuration changes to flash

 

startup-config

database.

 

 

 

Configuring the Fast Ethernet Interfaces

To configure the IP address or bridge-group number, autonegotiation, and flow control on a Fast Ethernet interface, perform the following procedure, beginning in global configuration mode:

 

 

 

 

Command

Purpose

 

 

 

 

Step 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

ML_Series(config)# interface fastethernet

Activates interface configuration mode to

 

 

 

 

number

configure the Fast Ethernet interface.

 

 

 

Step 2

 

 

 

 

 

 

ML_Series(config-if)# {ip address

Sets the IP address and IP subnet mask to be

 

 

 

 

ip-address subnet-mask bridge-group

assigned to the interface.

 

 

 

 

bridge-group-number}

or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Assigns a network interface to a bridge group.

 

 

 

Step 3

 

 

 

 

 

 

ML_Series(config-if)# [no] speed {10 100

Configures the transmission speed for 10 or

 

 

 

 

auto}

100 Mbps. If you set the speed or duplex for auto,

 

 

 

 

 

you enable autonegotiation on the system—the

 

 

 

 

 

ML-Series card matches the speed and duplex

 

 

 

 

 

mode of the partner node.
