Configuring a Cisco 7200 VXR Router
When using the GBIC media, there is also the additional negotiation auto command that is used to 
enable the IEEE 802.1z Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) autonegotiation protocol. 
Step 2 To turn the autonegotiation feature off (it is on by default), issue the interface command no negotiation 
auto. This is useful for connecting to other Gigabit Ethernet equipment that does not support 802.1z 
autonegotiation. 
Note The autonegotiation feature is not supported when using the rj-45 media type and will be ignored if 
implementation is attempted
If you change from the GBIC or SFP to the RJ-45 media type, you must set speed and duplex after you 
have executed the media-type command to ensure the interface will operate in the correct mode. 
The media-type GBIC or media-type SFP mode will always default to 1000 Mbps. Both full-duplex 
and half-duplex operation are supported in this mode. 
Sample Configuration
The following shows a typical configuration for the three Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the NPE-G1. In 
this example, the first interface is configured for the GBIC media type, the second interface is configured 
for the RJ-45 media type, and the third interface is not used. 
interface GigabitEthernet0/1 
ip address 10.198.75.35 255.255.255.240 
load-interval 30 
no keepalive 
duplex full 
speed 1000 
media-type gbic 
no negotiation auto 
no cdp enable
no shutdown
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/2 
ip address 10.179.16.2 255.255.255.240
duplex auto 
speed auto 
media-type rj45 
no cdp enable
no shutdown 
! 
interface GigabitEthernet0/3
no ip address 
shutdown 
duplex auto 
speed auto
media-type rj45 
no negotiation auto 
no cdp enable 
Note At the very minimum, an interface must be configured with the ip address, media-type, and speed 
commands before it can be enabled using the no shutdown command. Other interface commands might 
be needed, depending on the nature of the connected network.
