Configuring Interfaces on the PRP

Using Configuration Mode to Configure an Ethernet Interface

To perform a basic configuration of an Ethernet interface in configuration mode, follow these steps:

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 At the configuration mode prompt, specify the Ethernet interface by entering the subcommand interface, followed by the type (ethernet) and port (0) as follows:

Router(config)# interface ethernet 0

Router(config-if)#

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 or disable routing protocols (such as the no ip mroute-cachecommand) and to set other interface characteristics.

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

Router(config-int)# no shutdown

Step 6 After you include all the configuration subcommands necessary to complete the configuration, press Ctrl-Zto exit configuration mode.

Step 7 Write the new configuration to nonvolatile memory as follows:

Router# write memory

[OK]
