Understanding the User Interface
Accessing Each Command Mode
The following example shows how to enter interface configuration mode to configure the Ethernet
interface on the CPU:
Switch(config)#
interface ethernet0
Switch(config-if)#
CPU Interface Address Format (Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010)
With this release of the ATM switch router software, addressing the interface on the processor (CPU)
has changed. The ATM interface is now called atm0, and the Ethernet interface is now called ethernet0.
The following example shows how to enter interface configuration mode to configure the Ethernet
interface on the processor:
Switch(config)#
interface ethernet0
Switch(config-if)#
Note
The old formats (atm 2/0/0 and ethernet 2/0/0) are still supported in this release.
Interface Range Configuration Mode
Interface range configuration mode provides access to commands that apply to a range of interfaces.
These commands modify the operation of an interface such as an ATM, Ethernet, or asynchronous port.
To enter interface range configuration mode from global configuration mode, use the
interface range
command with a range of interfaces to configure; the prompt changes to the ATM switch router hostname
followed by (config-if)#:
Switch(config)#
interface range atm 1/1/0-3
Switch(config-if)#
To exit interface range configuration mode and return to global configuration mode, use the
exit
command:
Switch(config-if)#
exit
Switch(config)#
