Chapter 5 Configuring the PA-8T-232 Interfaces
Configuring the EIA/TIA-232 Interfaces
Step 3
Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface (if IP routing is enabled on the system) by using
the ip address subcommand, as in the following example:
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
Step 4
Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and set the
interface characteristics.
Note
If you are configuring a DTE interface, proceed to Step 6. If you are configuring a DCE
interface, you need to configure the external clock signal, which is described in Step 5.
The example in Step 5 applies to all systems in which the PA-8T-232 is supported.
Step 5
Set the clock rate using the clock rate command. (See the
“Configuring Timing (Clock) Signals”
section, which follows.)
Router(config-if)# clock rate 64000

The example is for interface 0 on a port
adapter in a Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter
Carrier Card in module slot 3 of a Cisco 7304
router.
Router(config)# interface serial 3/0
Router(config-if)#
Cisco 7401ASR routers

series routers
interface serial, followed by
slot/port adapter/port
(interface-processor-slot-number/
