Configuring the Ethernet Interfaces
The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interfaces, located on the PRP, allow connections to external Ethernet networks and are capable of data transmission rates of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. The transmission speed of the Ethernet ports is
Caution An Ethernet port is used primarily as a Telnet port into the Cisco 12000 Series Router, or for booting or accessing Cisco IOS software images over a network to which an Ethernet port is directly connected. Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) functions are switched off by default for security reasons. Cisco strongly cautions you to consider the security implications of switching on CEF routing functions on these ports.
The following sections provide two methods for configuring the Ethernet interface:
•Using Configuration Mode to Configure an Ethernet Interface
•Using the Setup Command Facility to Configure an Ethernet Interface
