Configuring the 5EFL Interfaces
If you installed a new 5EFL port adapter 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 5EFL
port adapter that was previously configured, the system will recognize the new 5EFL interfaces and
bring them up in their existing configuration.
After you verify that the new 5EFL port adapter is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on),
use the privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Be prepared with the
information you will need, such as the following:
•
Protocols you plan to route on each new interface.
•
Internet protocol (IP) addresses if you plan to configure the interfaces for IP routing.
•
Whether the new interfaces will use bridging.
For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring the 4E
interfaces on a Cisco 7200 series router, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in
the section "If You Need More Information" on page 2.
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.
Selecting Port Adapter Slot and Ethernet 10BASE-FL Interface Port Numbers
The following section describes how to identify port adapter slot and Ethernet 10BASE-FL interface
port numbers.
Physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the router. (See
Figure 21.) This address is composed of a two-part number in the format port adapter slot
number/interface port number, as follows:
•
The first number identifies the chassis slot in which the in which the 5EFL is installed.
•
The second number identifies the interface ports on each 5EFL port adapter, which are always
numbered in sequence as interface 0 through 4.
Interface ports maintain the same address regardless of whether other port adapters are installed or
removed from the slot. However, when you move a port adapter to a different slot, the first number
in the address changes to reflect the new chassis slot number.
