Cisco Systems VIP-4R/4T manual Checking the Configuration

VIP Port Adapter Functions

Step 7 When all new interfaces are configured, press Ctrl-Z(hold the Control key down and press the Z key).

Step 8 Write the new configuration to memory by entering the following:

Router# copy running-config startup-config

[OK]

Router#

Step 9 Enter quit to exit Configuration mode:

Router# quit

You have now completed configuring the Token Ring interfaces. Check the configuration as described in the section “Checking the Configuration.”

Checking the Configuration

After configuring the new interface(s) using either the setup command or the configure command, use the EXEC show commands to display status information.

Step 1 To display the current system configuration file, enter the show configuration command:

Router# show configuration

The configuration file for the router is displayed. Check the Token Ring configuration information in the display.

Step 2 To display and check all interfaces, enter the following command:

Router# show interfaces

Each interface is listed along with its assigned IP address. Verify that each new Token Ring interface appears.

Step 3 To obtain detailed status information about a specific Token Ring interface, specify the interface with the following command:

Router# show interface tokenring slot/port adapter/port

Detailed information about the interface is displayed. The first line of display specifies the interface along with its slot and port number. It indicates whether the hardware is functional and if the line protocol is up or down. If the line protocol is down (and you did not administratively shut it down), or if the hardware is not functioning properly, ensure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. For explanations of the displayed information, refer to the Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference and the Configuration Fundamentals Command Summary publications, which are available UniverCD or as printed copies.

Step 4 To display the current internal status of the processors, use the show controller command:

Router# show controllers token

The display lists the interfaces connected to each processor and indicates whether the system has identified your new interface. It does not indicate the state of the line or the protocol.

This completes the installation and configuration procedure for the 4R port adapter and associated equipment.
