Examples of Using the Setup Command Facility to Configure Interface Parameters
Gigabit Ethernet Interface Configuration
The following is a brief example of configuring a Gigabit Ethernet interface by using the setup command
facility:
Note
The Gigabit Ethernet interface is not supported on Cisco 1841, Cisco 2801, or Cisco 2811 routers.
Configuring interface GigabitEthernet0/0:
Configure IP on this interface? [yes]:
IP address for this interface [192.168.200.215]: 1.0.0.1
Subnet mask for this interface [255.255.255.0] : 255.0.0.0
Class A network is 1.0.0.0, 8 subnet bits; mask is /8
Note
On Cisco 3800 series routers, the port gig 0/0 supports both the small form-factor pluggable Gigabit
Ethernet Interface Converter (SFP GBIC) and RJ-45 media types. The port gig 0/1 supports only RJ-45.
To select between SFP or RJ-45 for port gig 0/0, use the media-type command. More details follow in
the “Selecting the Port for the Gigabit Ethernet Interface” section on page 6.
The following are two examples of configurations for the Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface. The first
example shows a sample configuration for RJ-45 mode, applicable to either port gig 0/0 or port gig 0/1:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
ip address 1.3.153.13 255.0.0.0
duplex auto
speed auto
media-type RJ-45
SFP mode (on Cisco 3800 seriers routers only) is available only on port gig 0/0:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
ip address 1.3.153.13 255.0.0.0
duplex auto
speed auto
media-type sfp
Selecting the Port for the Gigabit Ethernet Interface
The SFP port is supported for the GE port 0 only. GE port 1 supports only RJ-45 (or copper mode)
operation.
To select SFP type for GE port 0, use the following commands from the command-line interface (CLI):
router(config)# int gigabitEthernet 0/0
router(config-if)# media-type sfp
GigabitEthernet0/0: Changing media to SFP.
Note
The SFP port can only be set to 1000-Mbps or automatic speed. Duplex can be set to full-duplex or
automatic mode. Half-duplex communication is not supported.
