Configuring the PA-8E

Configuring the PA-8E

To continue your PA-8E Ethernet port adapter installation, you must configure the ethernet interfaces. The instructions that follow apply to all supported platforms. Minor differences between the platforms are noted. This chapter contains the following sections:

Using the EXEC Command Interpreter

You modify the configuration of your router through the software command interpreter called EXEC. You must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (also called enable mode) with the enable command before you can use the configure command to configure a new interface or to change the existing configuration of an interface. The system prompts you for a password if one has been set.

The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket (>). At the console terminal, use the following procedure to enter the privileged level:


Step 1   At the user-level EXEC prompt, enter the enable command. The EXEC prompts you for a privileged-level password as follows:

Router> enable
Password:

Step 2   Enter the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed.

When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system prompt (#):

Router#
 

If you installed a new PA-8E, or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must enter configuration mode using the configure command. If you replaced a PA-8E that was previously configured, the system will recognize the new PA-8E interfaces and bring them up in their existing configuration.

After you verify that the new PA-8E is installed correctly (the ENABLED LED lights), use the privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Be prepared with the information you will need, such as the following:

For a summary of the configuration options available, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the "Cisco Connection Online" section.

The configure command requires privileged-level access to the EXEC command interpreter, which usually requires a password. Contact your system administrator, if necessary, to obtain EXEC-level access.


Note   The PA-8E interfaces can both be configured at 10 Mbps, half duplex (HDX), for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 80 Mbps.

Configuring the PA-8E Interfaces

After you verify that the new PA-8E is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on), use the privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Have the following information available:

If you installed a new PA-8E or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must enter configuration mode to configure the new interfaces. If you replaced a PA-8E that was previously configured, the system recognizes the new interfaces and brings each of them up in their existing configuration.

For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring interfaces on a PA-8E, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section.

You execute configuration commands from the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter, which usually requires password access. Contact your system administrator, if necessary, to obtain password access. (See the "Using the EXEC Command Interpreter" section for an explanation of the privileged level of the EXEC.)

This section contains the following subsections:

Shutting Down an Interface

Before you remove an interface that you will not replace, or replace port adapters, use the shutdown command to shut down (disable) the interfaces to prevent anomalies when you reinstall the new or reconfigured port adapter. When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in the show command displays.

Follow these steps to shut down an interface:


Step 1   Enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (also called enable mode). (See the "Using the EXEC Command Interpreter" section for instructions.)

Step 2   At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal is the source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:

Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
 

Step 3   Shut down interfaces by entering the interface ethernet subcommand (followed by the interface address of the interface), and then enter the shutdown command. Table 4-1 shows the command syntax.

When you have finished, press Ctrl-Z—hold down the Control key while you press Z—or enter end or exit to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter.

Step 6   Reenable interfaces by doing the following:


For complete descriptions of software configuration commands, refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section.

Performing a Basic Configuration

Following are instructions for a basic configuration: enabling an interface, and specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration subcommands, depending on the requirements for your system configuration and the protocols you plan to route on the interface. For complete descriptions of configuration subcommands and the configuration options available for ethernet interfaces, refer to the appropriate software documentation.

In the following procedure, press the Return key after each step unless otherwise noted. At any time you can exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering disable at the prompt as follows:

Router# disable
 
Router> 
 

Step 1   Enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal is the source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:

Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
 

Step 2   Specify the first interface to configure by entering the interface ethernet subcommand, followed by the interface address of the interface you plan to configure. (The command for your port adapter may be different, for example, interface atm.) Table 4-3 provides examples.

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.

Step 5   Reenable the interfaces using the no shutdown command. (See the "Shutting Down an Interface" section.)

Step 6   Configure all additional port adapter interfaces as required.

Step 7   After including all of the configuration subcommands to complete your configuration, press Ctrl-Z—hold down the Control key while you press Z—or enter end or exit to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter prompt.

Step 8   Write the new configuration to NVRAM as follows:

Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#

This completes the procedure for creating a basic 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 and loopback commands to check connectivity. This section includes the following subsections:

Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status

Table 4-4 demonstrates how you can use the show commands to verify that new interfaces are configured and operating correctly and that the PA-8E appears in them correctly. Sample displays of the output of selected show commands appear in the sections that follow. For complete command descriptions and examples, refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section.

Proceed to the next section, "Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity," to check network connectivity of the PA-8E and switch or router.

Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity

Using the ping command, you can verify that an interface port is functioning properly. This section provides a brief description of this command. Refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section for detailed command descriptions and examples.

The ping command sends echo request packets out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending an echo request, the system waits a specified time for the remote device to reply. Each echo reply is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each request that is not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed] indicate a bad connection.

Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 10.0.0.10:

Router# ping 10.0.0.10 <Return>
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.0.0.10, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms
Router#
 

If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the destination and that the device is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.
