Interface configuration

This chapter contains information on interface configuration. The slots specify the chassis slot number in your device and subslots specify the slot where the service modules are installed.

For further information on the slots and subslots, see the “About Slots and Interfaces” sections:

These section is included in this chapter:

Configure the interfaces

These sections describe how to configure Gigabit interfaces and also provide examples of configuring the router interfaces:

Configure Gigabit Ethernet interfaces

Procedure


Step 1

enable

Example:


Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:


Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

interface TwoGigabitEthernet slot/subslot/port

Example:


Router(config)# interface TwoGigabitEthernet 0/0/1

Configures a GigabitEthernet interface.

  • TwoGigabitEthernet—Type of interface.

  • slot—Chassis slot number.

  • /subslot—Secondary slot number. The slash (/) is required.

  • /port—Port or interface number. The slash (/) is required.

Step 4

ip address ip-address mask [secondary] dhcp pool

Example:


Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 dhcp pool

Assigns an IP address to the GigabitEthernet

  • ip address ip-address—IP address for the interface.

  • mask—Mask for the associated IP subnet.

  • secondary (optional)—Specifies that the configured address is a secondary IP address. If this keyword is omitted, the configured address is the primary IP address.

  • dhcp—IP address negotiated via DHCP.

  • pool—IP address autoconfigured from a local DHCP pool.

Step 5

negotiation auto

Example:


Router(config-if)# negotiation auto

Selects the negotiation mode.

  • auto—Performs link autonegotiation.

Step 6

end

Example:


Router(config-if)# end

Ends the current configuration session and returns to privileged EXEC mode.


Configure the interfaces: Example

This example shows the interface TwogigabitEthernet command being used to add the interface and set the IP address. 0/0/1 is the slot/subslot/port. The ports are numbered 0 to 5.

Router# show running-config interface TwogigabitEthernet 0/0/1
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 108 bytes
!
interface TwoGigabitEthernet0/0/1
no ip address 
shutdown
negotiation auto
mka policy priority100
end 
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# interface TwogigabitEthernet 0/0/1

Note


Several Cisco platforms, NIMs, and SM cards support configuring multiple-rate SFPs on same interface, e.g., 1G SFP or 10G SFP+ on a 10G port.

In a port-channel bundle, all member interfaces should be of same speed, and duplex. It is recommended to use duplex interfaces of the same speed as member interfaces for configuring a port-channel.

For more information about interfaces that support multiple-rate SFPs, see the corresponding datasheets.

In this example, the show interfaces summary, and show platform software status control-process brief commands are used to display all the interfaces for C8375-E-G2:
