Performing a Basic Configuration

Configuring PA-FE Transmission Mode

Half-duplex operation is the default transmission mode for the PA-FE. Use the full-duplexcommand to configure full-duplex operation for the PA-FE as follows:

Router# configure terminal

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

Router(config)#

Router(config)# interface fastethernet 4/0

Router(config-if)# full-duplex

Ctrl-z

Use the show interfaces fastethernet command to verify that the 4/0 Fast Ethernet interface is now configured for full-duplex operation as follows:

Router# show interfaces fastethernet 4/0

FastEthernet 4/0 is administratively up, line protocol is up (display text omitted)

Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive not set, fdx, 100BaseTX

Use the no full-duplexcommand to return the interface to half-duplex operation as follows:

Router# configure terminal

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

Router(config)# interface fastethernet 4/0

Router(config-if)# no full-duplex

Ctrl-z

Router#

Use the show interfaces fastethernet command to verify that the 4/0 Fast Ethernet interface is now configured for half-duplex operation as follows:

Router# show interfaces fastethernet 4/0

FastEthernet2/0 is administratively up, line protocol is up (display text omitted)

Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive not set, hdx, 100BaseTX (display text omitted)To check the interface configuration using show commands,

proceed to the “Checking the Configuration” section on page 8-9.

To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the “Checking the

Configuration” section on page 8-9.

Configuring PA-FE Media Type

The RJ-45 receptacle is the default media type for PA-FE-TX and the SC receptacle (for fiber-optic connections) is the default media type for the PA-FE-FX. Use the media-type mii command to configure the MII receptacle as the media type for the PA-FE as follows:

Router# configure terminal

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

Router(config)# interface fastethernet 4/0

Router(config-if)# media-type mii

Ctrl-z

Router# show interface fastethernet 4/0

FastEthernet3/0/0 is administratively up, line protocol is up (display text omitted)

Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive not set, hdx, MII (display text omitted)

Use the media-type 100 command to return the media type for the PA-FE’s to the RJ-45 receptacle or SC receptacle.
