operational commands in the device. Sections in this chapter include:

Accessing the Interface Con®guration Process

Use the following procedure to access the router's con®guration process. This

process gives you access to a speci®c interface'scon®gurationprocess.

1.At the OPCON prompt (*), enter the status command to ®nd the PID for CONFIG. (See page 9 for sample output of the status command.)

2.At the OPCON prompt, enter the OPCON talk command and the PID for CONFIG. (For more detail on this command, refer to ªChapter 3. The OPCON Processº on page 25.) For example:

* talk 6

After you enter the talk 6 command, the CONFIG prompt (Config>) displays on the console. If the prompt does not appear when you ®rst enterCONFIG, press Return again.

3.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

4.Record the interface numbers.

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

Config> network 1

The appropriate con®guration prompt (such asTKR Config> for token-ring), now displays on the console.

Note: Not all network interfaces are user-con®gurable. For interfaces that cannot be con®gured, you receive the message:

That network is not configurable
