Configuring the 5EFL Interfaces
Configuring the 5EFL Interfaces
If you installed a new 5EFL port adapter or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must enter configuration mode using the configure command. If you replaced a 5EFL port adapter that was previously configured, the system will recognize the new 5EFL interfaces and bring them up in their existing configuration.
After you verify that the new 5EFL port adapter is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on), use the

Protocols you plan to route on each new interface.
Internet protocol (IP) addresses if you plan to configure the interfaces for IP routing.
Whether the new interfaces will use bridging.
For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring the 4E interfaces on a Cisco 7200 series router, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the section “If You Need More Information” on page 2.
The configure command requires
Selecting Port Adapter Slot and Ethernet
The following section describes how to identify port adapter slot and Ethernet
Physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the router. (See Figure 21.) This address is composed of a
•The first number identifies the chassis slot in which the in which the 5EFL is installed.
•The second number identifies the interface ports on each 5EFL port adapter, which are always numbered in sequence as interface 0 through 4.
Interface ports maintain the same address regardless of whether other port adapters are installed or removed from the slot. However, when you move a port adapter to a different slot, the first number in the address changes to reflect the new chassis slot number.
