Understanding Interfaces
ML-Series cards support Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and POS interfaces. This section provides some
examples of configurations for all interface types.
To configure an IP address or bridge-group number on a Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, or POS
interface, perform the following procedure:
Note Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to configure the other interfaces on the ML-Series card.
Configuring the Fast Ethernet Interfaces (ML100T-12)
To configure the IP address or bridge-group number, autonegotiation, and flow control on a Fast Ethernet
interface, perform the following procedure, beginning in global configuration mode:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)# interface
type number
Activates interface configuration mode to
configure either the Gigabit Ethernet interface, the
Fast Ethernet interface or the POS interface.
Step 2
Router(config-if)# {ip address
ip-address
subnet-mask
| bridge-group
bridge-group-number}
Sets the IP address and IP subnet mask to be
assigned to the interface.
or
Assigns a network interface to a bridge group.
Step 3
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Enables the interface by preventing it from
shutting down.
Step 4
Router(config)# end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
Router# copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Saves configuration changes to timing
and control card (TCC+/TCC2) Flash database.
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)# interface fastethernet
number
Activates interface configuration mode to
configure the Fast Ethernet interface.
Step 2
Router(config-if)# {ip address
ip-address
subnet-mask
| bridge-group
bridge-group-number}
Sets the IP address and IP subnet mask to be
assigned to the interface.
or
Assigns a network interface to a bridge group.
Step 3
Router(config-if)# {no] speed [10 | 100 |
auto}
Configures the transmission speed for 10 or
100 Mbps. If you set the speed or duplex for auto,
you enable autonegotiation on the system—the
ML-Series card matches the speed and duplex
mode of the partner node.
Step 4
Router(config-if)# [no] duplex {full | half
| auto}
for full duplex, half duplex, or autonegotiate.
