Enabling and Disabling Interfaces with ifconfig
To enable an AN or ANH interface for the network boot process or to disable an
interface from the network boot process, use the following command formats:
ifconfig -disable
<interface>
ifconfig -enable
<interface>
To enable an ASN interface for the network boot process or to disable an interface
from the network boot process, use the following command formats:
ifconfig
[
-s
<slot_no.> ]
-disable
<interface>
ifconfig
[
-s
<slot _no.> ]
-enable
<interface>
<slot_no.>
Specifies the slot containing the interface you want to enable or
disable. The slot corresponds to the ASN slot ID, which can be 1
to 4. If you omit this argument,
ifconfig
uses the current slot.
<interface>
Specifies the type of IP connector you are enabling or disabling.
For the AN and ANH, use
com1
or
com2
(for synchronous
media) or
xcvr1
(for Ethernet media).
For the ASN, use
xcvr
<network_module_no.> <port_no.>
or
com
<network_module_no.> <port_no.>
