PA-2FE-TX and PA-2FE-FX Two-Port Fast Ethernet Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
OL-3474-07
Chapter 4 Configuring the PA-2FE
Configuring the Interfaces
Note The PA-2FE is automatically configured with 100-Mbps interfaces. If Cisco IOS software detects that
the PA-2FE is connected to a 10-Mbps interface, the PA-2FE will automatically be configured to run at
10-Mbps. Use the speed [10 | 100 | auto] command to manually set the Fast Ethernet speed.
Step 3 Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface (if IP routing is enabled on the system) by using
the ip address subcommand, as in the following example:
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
Step 4 Add any additional configuration commands required to enable routing protocols and set the interface
characteristics.
Step 5 Re-enable the interfaces using the no shutdown command. (See the “Shutting Down an Interface”
section on page 4-2.)
Step 6 Configure all additional port adapter interfaces as required.
Step 7 After including all of the configuration commands to complete your configuration, press Ctrl-Z—hold
down the Control key while you press Z—or enter end or exit to exit configuration mode and return to
the EXEC command interpreter prompt.
Step 8 Write the new configuration to NVRAM as follows:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#
This completes the procedure for creating a basic configuration. To check the interface configuration
using show commands, proceed to the following section, “Checking the Configuration.”
Cisco 7301 router interface, followed by type
(fastethernet) and slot/port
(port-adapter-slot-number/
interface-port-number)
The example is for interface 0 of a PA-2FE in port
adapter slot 1.
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 1/0

VIP in Cisco 7500 series
routers
interface, followed by type
(fastethernet) and
