Chapter 16. Con®guring IEEE 802.5 Token-Ring Network Interfaces

This chapter describes Token-Ring interfaces con®guration and operational commands. It includes the following sections:

vªAccessing the Token-Ring Interface Con®guration Processº

vªToken-Ring Con®guration Commandsº

vªAccessing the Interface Monitoring Processº on page 228

vªToken-Ring Interface Monitoring Commandsº on page 229

vªToken-Ring Interfaces and the GWCON Interface Commandº on page 230

Accessing the Token-Ring Interface Con®guration Process

To display the TKR config> prompt, enter the network command followed by the interface number of the Token-Ring interface. 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 con®gured on the router.

Note: Whenever you change a parameter, you must restart the router for the changes to take effect.

Token-Ring Con®guration Commands

This section describes the Token-Ring con®guration commands. Enter the commands at the TKR config> prompt. Table 28 lists Token-Ring con®guration

commands.
