PA-8E 10BaseT Ethernet Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
OL-3494-04
Chapter 4 Configuring the PA-8E
Configuring the PA-8E Interfaces
Note If you need to shut down additional interfaces, enter the interface ethernet command (followed
by the interface address of the interface) for each of the interfaces on your port adapter. Use the
no shutdown command to enable the interface.
Step 4 Write the new configuration to NVRAM as follows:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#
The system displays an OK message when the configuration has been stored in NVRAM.
Step 5 Verify that new interfaces are now in the correct state (shut down) using the show interfaces command
(followed by the interface type and interface address of the interface) to display the specific interface.
Table 4-2 provides examples of the show interfaces ethernet command for the supported platforms.
Table 4-2 Examples of the show interfaces ethernet Command for the Supported Platforms
Platform Command Example
Catalyst RSM/VIP2 in Catalyst 5000
family switches
show interfaces ethernet,
followed by slot/port
(port-adapter-slot-number/
interface-port-number)
The example is for interface 0 on a port
adapter in port adapter slot 1.
Router# show interfaces ethernet 1/0
ethernet 1/0 is administratively down,
line protocol is down
[Additional display text omitted from
this example]
Cisco 7120 series routers show interfaces ethernet,
followed by slot/port
(port-adapter-slot-number/
interface-port-number)
The example is for interface 0 on a
port adapter in port adapter slot 3.
Router# show interfaces ethernet 3/0
ethernet 3/0 is administratively down,
line protocol is down
[Additional display text omitted from
this example]
Cisco 7140 series routers show interfaces ethernet,
followed by slot/port
(port-adapter-slot-number/
interface-port-number)
The example is for interface 0 on a
port adapter in port adapter slot 4.
Router# show interfaces ethernet 4/0
ethernet 4/0 is administratively down,
line protocol is down
[Additional display text omitted from
this example]
