section.

Verifying VIP Status Using show Commands

The following procedure describes how to use the show commands to verify that the new interfaces

are conﬁgured correctly:

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5

If the interface is down and you conﬁgured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is

not functioning properly, ensure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. If

you still have problems bringing the interface up, contact a service representative for assistance.

Use the show version or show hardware commands to display the system hardware

conﬁguration. Ensure that the list includes the new interfaces.

Display all of the current interface processors and their interfaces with the show

controllers cbus command. Verify that the new VIP appears in the correct slot.

Specify one of the new VIP interfaces with the show interfaces type slot/port adapter/port

command and verify that the ﬁrst line of the display speciﬁes the interface with the correct

slot number. Also verify that the interface and line protocol are in the correct state: up or

down.

Display the protocols conﬁgured for the entire system and speciﬁc interfaces with the

command show protocols. If necessary, return to Conﬁguration mode to add or remove

protocol routing on the system or speciﬁc interfaces.

Display the running conﬁguration ﬁle with the write terminal (or show running-conﬁg)

command. Display the conﬁguration stored in NVRAM using the show conﬁg (or show

startup-conﬁg) command. Verify that the conﬁguration is accurate for the system and each

interface.
