Cisco Systems PA-FE-FX, PA-FE-TX manual Checking the Configuration, adapter slot/interface

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

Configuration” section on page 8-9.

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 New Interface Status

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

Step 1	Use the show version command to display the system hardware configuration. Ensure
	that the list includes the new interfaces.
Step 2	Display the current port adapters and interfaces as follows:
	• For the Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series, and the Cisco uBR7200 series, display
		all the current port adapters and their interfaces with the show controllers command.
		Verify that the new PA-FE appears in the correct slot.
	• For the VIP2, 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 the new interfaces as follows:
	• For the Cisco 7100, Cisco 7200 series and the Cisco uBR7200 series, specify one of
		the new interfaces with the show interfaces port adapter type slot/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.
	Note For the Cisco 7206VXR and Cisco 7206 router shelves, the show interfaces
	command requires a shelf number in the format show interfaces type shelf number/port
	adapter slot/interface.
	• For the VIP2, specify one of the new interfaces with the show interfaces type
		slot/port-adapter/interfacecommand 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.
