If you installed a new PA-VXA, PA-VXB, or PA-VXC or if you want to change the configuration of an
existing interface, you must enter configuration mode to configure the new interface. If you replaced a
PA-VXA, PA-VXB, or PA-VXC that was previously configured, the system recognizes the new interface
and brings it up in its existing configuration.
For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring the interface on a
PA-VXA, PA-VXB, or PA-VXC, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the
"Related Documentation" section on page
You execute configuration commands from the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter, which
