Chapter 16. Configuring IEEE 802.5 Token-Ring Network
Interfaces
This chapter describes Token-Ringinterfaces configuration and operational
commands. It includes the following sections:
v“Accessing the Token-RingInterface Configuration Process”
v“Token-RingConfiguration Commands”
v“Accessing the Interface Monitoring Process” on page228
v“Token-RingInterface Monitoring Commands” on page 229
v“Token-RingInterfaces and the GWCON Interface Command” on page 230
Accessing the Token-Ring Interface Configuration Process
Todisplay the TKR config> prompt, enter the network command followed by the
interface number of the Token-Ringinterface. For example:
Config>network 0
Token-Ring interface configuration
TKR Config>
Use the list devices command at the Config> prompt to display a list of interface
numbers configured on the router.
Note: Whenever you change a parameter, you must restart the router for the
changes to take effect.
Token-Ring Configuration Commands
This section describes the Token-Ringconfiguration commands. Enter the
commands at the TKR config> prompt. Table28 lists Token-Ringconfiguration
commands.
