Chapter 4 Configuring the PA-FE-TX or PA-FE-FX
Configuring the Interfaces
Step 2 The following examples explain how to configure the Fast Ethernet interface:
• For the Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series, and the Cisco uBR7200 series, at the prompt specify
the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand interface, followed by the type
(fastethernet) and slot/interface (port adapter slot number and interface number). The example that
follows is for the first interface of the port adapter in slot 4:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 4/0
Note For the Cisco 7206VXR and Cisco 7206 router shelves in the Cisco AS5800 Universal
Access Server, the interface specified in the above example would include a shelf number.
For example, the command interface fastethernet 5/4/0 would specify the first Fast Ethernet
interface of the port adapter in slot 4 of router shelf 5.
• For the Cisco 7301 routers and the Cisco 7401ASR routers, at the prompt specify the first interface
to configure by entering the subcommand interface, followed by the type (fastethernet) and
slot/interface (port adapter slot number and interface number). The example that follows is for the
first interface of the port adapter in slot 1:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 1/0
• For the VIP, at the prompt specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand
interface, followed by the type (fastethernet) and slot/port-adapter/interface. The example that
follows is for the first interface of the first port adapter, on a VIP in interface processor slot 1:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 1/0/0
• For the Catalyst RSM/VIP2, at the prompt specify the first interface to configure by entering the
subcommand interface, followed by the type (fastethernet) and port-adapter/interface. The
example that follows is for the first interface of the first port adapter, on a Catalyst RSM/VIP2:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0
Step 3 If IP routing is enabled on the system, you can assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface with
the ip address configuration subcommand, as in the following example:
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
Step 4 Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and set the
interface characteristics.
Step 5 Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 6 Configure additional interfaces as required.
Step 7 After including all of the configuration commands to complete your configuration, press Ctrl-Z—hold
down the Control key while you press Z—or enter end or exit to exit configuration mode and return to
the EXEC command interpreter prompt.
Step 8 Write the new configuration to NVRAM as follows:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#
This completes the procedure for creating a basic configuration.
