6.3 A Logical View of Ports
The screenshots below show available typical ports of a ISG18GFP with 8 Ethernet ports.
Fa
stands for Fast Ethernet and
Gi
for Gigabit Ethernet.
The RS232 ports are configured and identified within the ACE CLI mode and are not seen at “show vlan”.
The iSG18GFP has several hardware ordering options of interfaces. The Ethernet interfaces which are applicable
to the hardware will be available for configuration.
6.4 Enabling Ports
To be accessible, the required interfaces must be activated. This is done using the no shutdown command.
1. An example of enabling port interface number 5 is as follows.
iSG18GFP(config)# interface fastethernet 0/5
iSG18GFP(config-if)# no shutdown
iSG18GFP(config-if)# end
iSG18GFP# write startup-cfg
System Default is when all ports are enabled.
The
show interfaces
command displays the complete information of all available interfaces.
6.5 ACE Ports
Ports Gigabitethernet 0/3 and Gi 0/4 are unique ports. These are internal system ports used for directing access and
network traffic handled at the GCE to the Application services.
The use of these ports should be made in accordance to the configuration instructions as shown in the following
chapters of this manual.
