The configuration process is complete. Proceed to the section “Checking the Configuration” on page 44. It provides show commands you can use to display and verify the configuration information.
Using the Configure EXEC Command
The configure EXEC command allows you to configure the interfaces for interface processors in the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series. At the privileged command level, enter the ? command to display a list of privileged level EXEC commands.
To display information about the interface, including the software and hardware versions and the controller status, use the show controller cbus command. To display statistics about the interfaces, use the show interfaces command.
Selecting Chassis Slot, Port Adapter, and Serial Interface Port Numbers
The following section describes how to identify chassis slot, port adapter, and serial interface port numbers.
Note Although the processor slots in the
In the router, physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the router interface processor end. (See Figure 20.) This address is composed of a
The first number identifies the chassis slot in which the VIP is installed (as shown in the example system in Figure 20). The second number identifies the physical port adapter number on the VIP, and is either 0 or 1. The interface ports on each 4R port adapter are always numbered in sequence as interface 0 through 3.
Interface ports on the 4R port adapter maintain the same address regardless of whether other interface processors are installed or removed. However, when you move a VIP to a different slot, the first number in the address changes to reflect the new slot number.
