Cisco Systems PA-5EFL= Checking the Configuration, Using show Commands to Verify the VIP2 Status

VIP2 and the 5EFL Port Adapter

Step 3 If IP routing is enabled on the system, you can assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface with the ip address configuration subcommand, as in the following example:

Router(config-int)#ip address 1.1.1.10 255.255.255.0

Step 4 Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and set the interface characteristics.

Step 5 Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:

Router(config-int)# no shutdown

Step 6 Configure additional interfaces as required.

Step 7 When you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the configuration, press Ctrl-Zto exit configuration mode.

Step 8 Write the new configuration to nonvolatile memory as follows:

Router# copy running-config startup-config

[OK]

Router#

To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the section “Checking the Configuration.”

Checking the Configuration

After configuring the new interface, use the show commands to display the status of the new interface or all interfaces and the ping command to check connectivity.

Using show Commands to Verify the VIP2 Status

The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and operating correctly.

Step 1	Display the system hardware configuration with the show version command. Ensure that
	the list includes the new serial interfaces.
Step 2	Display all the current interface processors and their interfaces with the show controllers
	cbus command. Verify that the new VIP2 appears in the correct slot.
Step 3	Specify one of the new serial interfaces with the show interfaces type slot/port
	adapter/interface command and verify that the first line of the display specifies the
	interface with the correct slot number. Also verify that the interface and line protocol are
	in the correct state: up or down.
Step 4	Display the protocols configured for the entire system and specific interfaces with the
	show protocols command. If necessary, return to configuration mode to add or remove
	protocol routing on the system or specific interfaces.
Step 5	Display the running configuration file with the	show running-config command. Display
	the configuration stored in NVRAM using the	show startup-config command. Verify

that the configuration is accurate for the system and each interface.

If the interface is down and you configured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is not functioning properly, ensure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. If you still have problems bringing the interface up, contact a service representative for assistance.
