Cisco Systems PA-FE-FX, PA-FE-TX manual Router# configure terminal

Use the following sample basic configuration procedure:

Step 1 At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal is the source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:

Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#

Step 2 The following examples explain how to configure the fastethernet interface:

•For the Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series, and the Cisco uBR7200 series, at the

prompt specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand interface, followed by the type (fastethernet) and slot/interface (port adapter slot number and interface number). The example that follows is for the first interface of the port adapter in slot 4:

Router(config)# interface fastethernet 4/0

Note For the Cisco 7206VXR and Cisco 7206 router shelves, the interface specified in the above example would include a shelf number. For example, the command interface fastethernet 5/4/0 would specify the first FE interface of the port adapter in slot 4 of router shelf 5.

•For the VIP2, at the prompt specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand interface, followed by the type (fastethernet) and slot/port-adapter/interface. The example that follows is for the first interface of the first port adapter, on a VIP2 in interface processor slot 1:

Router(config)# interface fastethernet 1/0/0

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 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255

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#

This completes the procedure for creating a basic configuration. To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the “Checking the Configuration” section on page 8-9.
