Utilizing the Command Line Interface Chapter 2
Managing the XSR
Disabling an Interface
An interface can be administratively disabled with the
shutdown command:
XSR(config-if<S2/0>)#shutdown + Disables interface
Configuring an Interface
You can configure an interface only after invoking Interface configuration
mode. Each interface can be configured with a set of interface-specific
commands. If you are unsure which commands are available, type
? to list
them for the particular port. Consider the following sequence of commands
to configure a GigabitEthernet interface:
XSR#config terminal
XSR(config)#interface gigabitethernet 2
XSR(config-if<G2>)#?
description +
Text describing this interface
duplex + Manually set the duplex mode
exit + Quit interface configuration mode
help + Description of the interactive help system
ip + Interface Internet Protocol config commands
loopback + Configure interface for internal loopback
no + Negate a command or set its defaults
shutdown + Shutdown the selected interface
speed + Manually set the line speed
XSR(config-if<F1>)exit + Quit Interface mode
Displaying Interface Attributes
You can display the current settings of an interface when in Privileged EXEC
or Global configuration mode. For example, type:
XSR#show interface fastethernet 1
or:
XSR(config)#show interface serial 1/0
