This saves the configuration changes to NVRAM so that they are not lost during
resets, power cycles, or power outages.
Configuring the Fast Ethernet Interface
You can use the initial configuration dialog, as described earlier in this chapter, to
configure the Fast Ethernet interface on your Cisco VG200 gateway. Otherwise,
you can configure the Ethernet interface by entering CLI commands at the
gateway prompt, as shown in the following steps.
Step 1 Enter enable mode, as follows:
VG200 > enable
Password:
<password>
VG200#
You have entered enable mode when the prompt changes to VG200#.
Step 2 Enter global configuration mode by entering the following command from the
EXEC mode prompt:
VG200# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
VG200(config)#
You have entered global configuration mode when the prompt changes to
VG200(config)#.
Step 3 Enter interface configuration mode by entering the following command from the
global configuration prompt:
VG200(config)# interface FastEthernet0/0
You have entered interface configuration mode when the prompt changes to
VG200(config-if)#.
Step 4 Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface by entering the following
command from the interface configuration prompt:
VG200(config-if)# ip address
ipaddress subnetmask
