Chapter 5 Configuring the PA-8T-V.35 Interfaces
Checking the Configuration
This completes the procedure for configuring controlled-carrier mode on a PA-8T-V.35 interface. For
additional information on configuring half-duplex operation on low-speed serial interfaces, refer to the
chapter “Configuring Interfaces” of the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide. For more
information, see the “Obtaining Documentation” section on page x and the “Obtaining Technical
Assistance” section on page xi.
Note To configure PA-8T-V.35 interfaces for Bisync operation in Cisco 7200 series routers, refer to the “Block
Serial Tunneling (BSTUN)” section of the “Configuring Serial Tunnel (STUN) and Block Serial Tunnel
(BSTUN)” chapter of the Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide.
Checking the Configuration
After configuring the new interface, use the show commands to display the status of the new interface
or all interfaces, and use the ping and loopback commands to check connectivity. This section includes
the following subsections:
• Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status, page 5-17
• Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity, page 5-29
• Using loopback Commands, page 5-29
Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status
Table 5-8 on page 5-17 demonstrates how you can use the show commands to verify that new interfaces
are configured and operating correctly and that the PA-8T-V.35 appears in them correctly. Sample
displays of the output of selected show commands appear in the sections that follow. For complete
command descriptions and examples, refer to the publications listed in the “Related Documentation”
section on page viii.
Note The outputs that appear in this document may not match the output you receive when running these
commands. The outputs in this document are examples only.
