Configuring the WAN Ethernet port
Issue 5 June 2008 217
Backup interfaces
You can configure backup relations between a pair of any Layer 2 serial interfaces, including the
FastEthernet interface. For instructions on how to configure backup interfaces, see
Backup
interfaces on page 289.
WAN Ethernet port commands
Use the following commands in
FastEthernet 10/2
context for basic Ethernet configuration
of the WAN Ethernet port:
●
Enter
autoneg
to set the port speed and duplex to auto-negotiation mode for the external
Fast Ethernet port. Use the
no
form of this command to disable the auto-negotiation mode.
●
Use the
duplex
command to control the duplex setting for the interface.
●
Use the
keepalive-track
command to bind the interface status to an object tracker.
When activated, the object tracker sends health check packets at defined intervals to the
other side of the interface. If the configured number of consecutive keepalive requests are
not answered, the interface track state changes to down. The object tracker continues
monitoring the interface, and when its track state changes to up, the interface state
changes to up.
●
Enter
shutdown
to set the administrative status of the current interface to
down
. Use the
no
form of this command to restore the administrative status of the interface to
up
.
●
Use the
speed
command to set the port speed.
