IBM SC30-3681-08 manual Conguring and Monitoring the Ethernet Network Interface, 251

Chapter 19. Con®guring and Monitoring the Ethernet Network Interface

This chapter describes Ethernet interface con®guration and operational commands. It includes the following sections:

vªAccessing the Ethernet Interface Operating Processº on page 253

vªEthernet Interface Monitoring Commandsº on page 253

Accessing the Ethernet Interface Con®guration Process

Use the following procedure to access the con®guration process. This process gives you access to an Ethernet interface's con®gurationprocess.

1.At the OPCON prompt, enter talk 6. (For more detail on this command, refer to ªChapter 3. The OPCON Processº on page 25.) For example:

*talk 6 Config>

The CONFIG prompt (Config>) displays on the console. If the prompt does not appear when you ®rst enter con®guration, pressReturn again.

2.At the CONFIG prompt, enter the list devices command to display the network interface numbers for which the router is currently con®gured. For example:

Config> list devices
Ifc 0 Ethernet		CSR	81600, CSR2	80C00, vector	94
Ifc 1 WAN X.25		CSR	81620, CSR2	80D00, vector	93
Ifc 2	WAN X.25	CSR	81640, CSR2	80E00, vector	92
Ifc 3	WAN PPP	CSR 381620, CSR2 380D00, vector			125
Ifc 4	WAN Frame Relay	CSR 381640, CSR2 380E00, vector			124
Ifc 5	Token Ring	CSR 600000, vector 95

3.Record the interface numbers.

4.Enter the network command and the number of the Ethernet interface you want to con®gure. For example:

Config> network 0

ETH Config>

The Ethernet con®guration prompt ETH( Config>), is displayed.

Ethernet Con®guration Commands

This section summarizes and then explains the Ethernet con®guration commands. Enter the commands at the ETH config> prompt.

Table 33. Ethernet Con®guration Command Summary

Command	Function
? (Help)	Displays all the commands available for this command
	level or lists the options for speci®c commands (if
	available). See ªGetting Helpº on page 10.
Connector-Type	Sets the connector type.
IP-Encapsulation	Sets the IP encapsulation as Ethernet (type X'0800') or
	IEEE (802.3 with SNAP).
List	Displays the current connector-type, NetWare IPX
	encapsulation, and IP encapsulation.
