Configuring Fast Ethernet Interfaces

Before you begin configuring the Ethernet interface, make sure you:
•

Command
Step 1
Router> enable
Password: password
Router#
Step 2
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Step 3
Router# ip routing
Router# appletalk routing
Router# ipx routing
Step 4
Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/0
Router(config-if)#
Step 5
Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.74.3
255.255.255.0
Step 6
Router(config-if)# appletalk static
cable-range 3-3
Router(config-if)# appletalk zone ZZEth
Router(config-if)# ipx network B005
Step 7
Router(config-if)# exit
Step 8
Router(config)# Ctrl-z

Configuring Fast Ethernet Interfaces

To configure a Fast Ethernet interface, use the configuration software provided with your router or
network module, if any. Otherwise, for greatest power and flexibility use configuration mode (manual
configuration). In this mode, you enter Cisco IOS commands at the router prompt.
Before you begin, disconnect all WAN cables from the router to keep it from trying to run the
Note
AutoInstall process. The router tries to run AutoInstall whenever you power it on if there is a WAN
connection on both ends and the router does not have a valid configuration file stored in NVRAM
(for instance, when you add a new interface). It can take several minutes for the router to determine
that AutoInstall is not connected to a remote Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) host.

Connect a console to the router.
Power on the router.
Chapter 3 Configuring with the Command-Line Interface
Purpose
Enter enable mode. Enter the password.
You have entered enable mode when the prompt
changes to .
Router#
Enter global configuration mode. You have
entered global configuration mode when the
prompt changes to
Router(config)#.
Enable routing protocols as required for your
global configuration. This example uses IP
routing, AppleTalk routing, and Internetwork
Packet Exchange (IPX) routing.
Enter the interface configuration mode. You have
entered interface configuration mode when the
prompt changes to
Router(config-if)#.
Assign the IP address and subnet mask to the
interface.
Configure routing protocols on the interface. You
must have previously enabled these protocols as
part of global configuration. In this example,
AppleTalk and IPX are being configured on the
interface.
Exit back to global configuration mode.
Repeat Step 4 through Step 6 if your router has
more that one LAN interface that you need to
configure.
When you finish configuring interfaces, return to
enable mode.
