Configuring Ethernet Interfaces
This module describes the configuration of Ethernet interfaces on the Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers.
The distributed Gigabit Ethernet, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet architecture and features deliver
network scalability and performance, while enabling service providers to offer high-density, high-bandwidth
networking solutions designed to interconnect the router with other systems in POPs, including core and edge
routers and Layer 2 switches.

Prerequisites for Configuring Ethernet Interfaces
You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command

preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
Before configuring Ethernet interfaces, ensure that these tasks and conditions are met:
• Know the interface IP address.
• You know how to apply the specify the generalized interface name with the generalized notation
