Table 8-2. Options for the ifconfig Command
Setting Description
Slot setting:
-s
<slot_no.>
Specifies the slot containing the interface you want to configure. The slot
corresponds to the ASN slot ID, which can be 1 to 4. If you omit this argument,
ifconfig
uses the current slot.
Default setting:
-d
Resets the router’s IP interface settings to the default values. This setting tries
four WAN configurations in the following order until it finds the correct type for the
router’s connection to the network:
1. Bay Networks HDLC encapsulation (also referred to as Bay Networks
Standard Point-to-Point) with external clocking
2. Frame Relay Annex D
3. Frame Relay LMI
4. Frame Relay Annex A
Frame relay settings:
-fr
Configures the router’s synchronous port as a Frame Relay connection. With this
setting, use one of the following options to specify a DLCMI setting:
-annexd
,
-annexa
, or
-lmi
.
-annexd
-annexa
-lmi
Specifies the DLCMI setting when one of these options is used with the
-fr
setting. Use the same setting as the network to which the router frame relay
interface connects. The default setting for frame relay is
-annexd
.
Internal clocking setting:
-int_clk
Sets the router’s synchronous port to internal clocking at 1.25 MB/s. If you do not
specify the
-int_clk
setting, the router defaults to external clocking.
IP connector setting:
<interface>
Specifies the type of IP connector you are configuring. For the AN and ANH, use
com1
or
com2
for synchronous media. For the ASN, use
com <network_module_no.><port_no.>
.
IP address settings:
<IP_address>
Specifies the IP address of the interface you set with
<interface>
. Provide this
address in dotted-decimal notation.
<subnet_mask>
Specifies the IP subnet mask of the interface you selected with the
<interface>
setting. Provide this address in dotted-decimal notation.
<next_hop_address>
Specifies the IP address of the next-hop router. Provide this address in
dotted-decimal notation. You need to specify this address only if there are
intermediate routers between the router and the BootP server.
