Step 7 When all new interfaces are configured, press Ctrl-Z (hold the Control key down and press
the Z key).
Step 8 Write the new configuration to memory by entering the following:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#
Step 9 Enter quit to exit Configuration mode:
Router# quit
You have now completed configuring the Token Ring interfaces. Check the configuration as
described in the section “Checking the Configuration.”
Checking the Configuration
After configuring the new interface(s) using either the setup command or the configure command,
use the EXEC show commands to display status information.
Step 1 To display the current system configuration file, enter the show configuration command:
Router# show configuration
The configuration file for the router is displayed. Check the Token Ring configuration
information in the display.
Step 2 To display and check all interfaces, enter the following command:
Router# show interfaces
Each interface is listed along with its assigned IP address. Verify that each new Token Ring
interface appears.
Step 3 To obtain detailed status information about a specific Token Ring interface, specify the
interface with the following command:
Router# show interface tokenring
slot/port adapter/port
Detailed information about the interface is displayed. The first line of display specifies the
interface along with its slot and port number. It indicates whether the hardware is functional
and if the line protocol is up or down. If the line protocol is down (and you did not
administratively shut it down), or if the hardware is not functioning properly, ensure that
the network interface is properly connected and terminated. For explanations of the
displayed information, refer to the Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference and
the Configuration Fundamentals Command Summary publications, which are available
UniverCD or as printed copies.
Step 4 To display the current internal status of the processors, use the show controller command:
Router# show controllers token
The display lists the interfaces connected to each processor and indicates whether the
system has identified your new interface. It does not indicate the state of the line or the
protocol.
This completes the installation and configuration procedure for the 4R port adapter and associated
equipment.
