PA-100VG AnyLAN Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
31
Configuring the 100VG Interfaces
Step 3
If IP routing is enabled on the system, you can assign an IP address and subnet mask to
the interface with the
ip address
configuration subcommand, as in the following
example:
Router(config-if)#
ip address 1.1.1.10 255.255.255.0
Step 4
Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and
set the interface characteristics.
Step 5
Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:
Router(config-if)#
no shutdown
Step 6
Configure additional interfaces as required.
Step 7
When you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the
configuration, press
Ctrl-Z
to exit configuration mode.
Step 8
Write the new configuration to nonvolatile memory as follows:
Router#
copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#
To check the interface configuration using
show
commands, proceed to the section “Checking the
Configuration.”
Checking the Configuration
After configuring the new interface, use the
show
commands to display the status of the new
interface or all interfaces, and use the
ping
command to check connectivity.
Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status
The following steps use
show
commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and
operating correctly:
Step 1
Display the system hardware configuration with the
show version
command to ensure
that the list includes the new interfaces.
Step 2
Display all the current port adapters and their interfaces with the
show
controllers
command. Verify that the new 100VG port adapter appears in the correct slot.
Step 3
Specify one of the new interfaces with the
show interfaces
type
[
slot/interface
]
c
ommand
and verify that the first line of the display specifies the interface with the correct slot
number. Also verify that the interface and line protocol are in the correct state: up or
down.
Step 4
Display the protocols configured for the entire system and specific interfaces with the
show protocols
command. If necessary, return to configuration mode to add or remove
protocol routing on the system or specific interfaces.
Step 5
Display the running configuration file with the
show running-config
command. Display
the configuration stored in NVRAM using the
show startup-config
command. Verify
that the configuration is accurate for the system and each interface.
If the interface is down and you configured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is
not functioning properly, ensure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. If
you still have problems bringing the interface up, contact a service representative for assistance.
