About Interface Configuration
The main objective of a router is to relay packets from one data
link to another. To achieve this goal, the characteristics of the
interfaces through which the packets are received and sent must
be clearly defined. These characteristics include, but are not
limited to, the address of the interfaces, list of ports, media-type,
data encapsulation method and bandwidth. As a result, many
features are enabled on a per-interface basis. The interface
configuration mode contains commands that modify the
operation of an Ethernet or serial port.
