Cisco Systems VIP-4R/4T manual Write the new configuration to memory as follows

VIP Port Adapter Functions

Ports are numbered sequentially beginning with either the top port (in the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513) or the left-most port (in the Cisco 7010, and the Cisco 7505), which is always port (interface) 0. For example, the slot/port adapter/port address of the first interface on a VIP installed in interface processor slot 1 is 1/1/0, and the adjacent port on the same VIP is 1/1/1.

The following steps describe a basic configuration. Press the Return key after each step unless otherwise noted.

Step 1 At the privileged-level prompt, enter Configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be 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 prompt, specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand interface, followed by the type (serial) and slot/port (interface processor slot number/0). The example that follows is for the first port on a VIP in interface processor slot 1:

Router(config)# interface serial 1/1/0

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 145.22.4.67 255.255.255.0

Step 4 Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and adjust the interface characteristics.

Step 5 If you are configuring a DTE interface, proceed to Step 7. If you are configuring a DCE interface, you also need to configure the external clock signal, as described in the next step.

Step 6 Set the clock rate with the clockrate command (see the section “Configuring Timing (Clock) Signals” on page 65).

Router(config-int)# clockrate 72000

Step 7 Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:

Router(config-int)# no shutdown

Step 8 When you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the configuration, press Ctrl-Zto exit Configuration mode.

Router(config-int)# ^z

Step 9 Write the new configuration to memory as follows:

Router# copy running-config startup-config

[OK]

Router#

Step 10 Exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering disable at the prompt as follows:

Router# disable

Router>

To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the section “Checking the Configuration” on page 72.
