Using the EXEC Command Interpreter
Replacing an Existing Port Adapter
Before you remove or replace a port adapter, use the shutdown command to disable the port adapter to
prevent anomalies when you remove and reinstall the 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:
Enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (also called enable mode). (See the
Step 1
the EXEC Command Interpreter" section on page 4-1
At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal is the
Step 2
source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Shutting Down the T3 Controller
Shut down the T3 controller on the PA-MC-2T3+ with the controller command:
Step 3
shutdown
This command sends a DS3 idle signal toward the network. You can bring the T3 controller back up with
the no shutdown controller command.
Examples follow:
•
•
Note
Verify that the two T3 ports are now shut down using the
Step 4
show controller T3 command shown in the following examples:
The following example is for a PA-MC-2T3+ in port adapter slot 6 of a Cisco 7200 series router.
Router(config-controller)# end
Router# show controller T3 6/0
T3 6/0 is administratively down.
Router# show controller T3 6/1
T3 6/1 is administratively down.
PA-MC-2T3+ Multi-Channel T3 Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
4-2
The example that follows is for a port adapter on a VIP in interface processor slot 1 of the Cisco
7500 series router:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0/0
Router(config-controller)# shutdown
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0/1
Router(config-controller)# shutdown
The example that follows is for a port adapter in slot 1 of the Cisco 7200 series routers:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0
Router(config-controller)# shutdown
Router(config)# controller T3 1/1
Router(config-controller)# shutdown
Both T3 ports of the PA-MC-2T3+ should be shut down before removing the port adapter.
