Using the Interface Command
•
You can identify ports from the physical location. You also can use show commands to display
information about a specific port, or all the ports.
Note
With Release 12.1(11b)E and later releases, when you are in configuration mode you can enter EXEC
mode-level commands by entering the do keyword before the EXEC mode-level command.
Using the Interface Command
You use the commands described in this section to configure both physical ports and logical interfaces.
Note
These procedures apply to all interface configuration processes. Begin the interface configuration
process in global configuration mode.
Step 1
Enter the configure terminal command at the privileged EXEC prompt to enter global configuration
mode:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
Router(config)#
In the global configuration mode, enter the interfaces command. Identify the interface type and the
Step 2
number of the connector or interface card.
The following example shows how to select Fast Ethernet, slot 5, interface 1:
Router(config)# interfaces fastethernet 5/1
Router(config-if)#
Enter the show interfaces EXEC command to see a list of all interfaces that are installed. A report is
