Information About Configuring Ethernet
Ethernet is defined by the IEEE 802.3 international standard. It enables the connection of up to 1024 nodes
over coaxial, twisted-pair, or fiber-optic cable.
The Cisco NCS 6000 Series Router supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gbps), and 100-Gigabit Ethernet (100
Gbps) interfaces.
Default Configuration Values for Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet
This table describes the default interface configuration parameters that are present when an interface is enabled
on a 10-Gigabit Ethernet modular services card and its associated PLIM.
You must use the
shutdown
command to bring an interface administratively down. The interface default is
no shutdown
. When a modular services card is first inserted into the router, if there is no established
preconfiguration for it, the configuration manager adds a shutdown item to its configuration. This shutdown
can be removed only be entering the
no shutdown
command.

Default Configuration Values for Fast Ethernet
This table describes the default interface configuration parameters that are present when an interface is enabled
on the Fast Ethernet SPA card and its associated PLIM.
You must specifically configure the
shutdown
command to bring an interface administratively down. The
interface default is
no shutdown
. When a modular services card is first inserted into the router, if there is no
established preconfiguration for it, the configuration manager adds a shutdown item to its configuration. This
shutdown can be removed only be entering the
no shutdown
command.
