Electrical Equipment Guidelines  
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:  
Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency  
power-off switch for the room in which you are working.  
Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.  
Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist and never assume that power has  
been disconnected from a circuit; always check.  
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment  
unsafe. Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded  
power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

Safety Guidelines  
Telephone Wiring Guidelines  
Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone  
wiring or to other network cabling:  
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.  
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet  
locations.  
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been  
disconnected at the network interface.  
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.  
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are  
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules  
consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI)  
shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to  
protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.  
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:  
Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.  
Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.  
When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to  
properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental  
removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are  
properly seated.  
When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to  
release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.  
Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or  
connectors.  
Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding  
container. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static  
shielding container.  
Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects  
components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.  
Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.  
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should  
be between 1 and 10 megohms.  
Ethernet and Ethernet 10BASE-FL Overview  
The term Ethernet is commonly used for all carrier sense multiple access/collision detection  
(CSMA/CD) local-area networks (LANs) that generally conform to Ethernet specifications,  
including IEEE 802.3. Ethernet Version 2 and IEEE 802.3 were based on, and developed shortly  
after, Ethernet Version 1. The slight differences between Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 are implemented  
in hardware, and both are supported automatically by the 5EFL without any hardware configuration

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL Specifications  
changes. Together, Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 are the most widely used LAN protocols. They are well  
suited to applications where a local communication medium must carry sporadic, occasionally  
heavy traffic at high peak data rates.  
The term 10BASE-FL is an abbreviation for 10 Mbps transmission, Baseband medium, F for fiber,  
and L for link, as defined in the 10BASE-FL specification. The Ethernet specifications call the 5EFL  
device a transceiver, and it is connected to the station with a transceiver cable. The 5EFL port  
adapter is not an end station. The IEEE 802.3 specifications refer to the same type of device as a  
media attachment unit (MAU). Stations on a CSMA/CD LAN can access the network at any time.  
Before sending data, the station listens to the network to see of it is already in use. If it is, the station  
waits until the network is not in use, then transmits. A collision occurs when two stations listen for  
network traffic, hear none, and transmit simultaneously. When this happens, both transmissions are  
damaged, and the stations must retransmit. The stations detect the collision and use backoff  
algorithms to determine when they should retransmit.  
Both Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 are broadcast networks, which means that all stations see all  
transmissions. Each station must examine received frames to determine whether it is the intended  
destination and, if it is, pass the frame to a higher protocol layer for processing. IEEE 802.3 specifies  
several different physical layers, and Ethernet defines only one. Each IEEE 802.3 physical layer  
protocol has a name that summarizes its characteristics in the format speed/signaling  
method/segment length where speed is the LAN speed in Mbps, signaling method is the signaling  
method used (either Baseband or Broadband), and segment length is the maximum length between  
stations in hundreds of meters. The maximum distances for Ethernet network segments and  
connections depend on the type of transmission cable used; for example, fiber-optic cable  
(10BASE-FL).

What Is the 5EFL Port Adapter?  
The 5EFL port adapter provides up to five IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10BASE-FL interfaces. (See  
Figure 1.) Each Ethernet 10BASE-FL interface allows a maximum bandwidth of 10 Mbps, for a  
maximum aggregate bandwidth of 50 Mbps, half-duplex. Each 10BASE-FL interface uses two  
multimode (ST) receptacles for receive (RX) and transmit (TX). All five ports run at wire speed.

5EFL Port Adapter LEDs  
The 5EFL port adapter contains the enabled LED, standard on all port adapters, and one status LED  
for each port, called the link LED. After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate  
that the 5EFL port adapter has been enabled for operation. (The LEDs are shown in Figure 5.)  
Figure 5  
LEDs on the 5EFL Port Adapter, Partial Faceplate View  
PACKET OVER SONET/SDH  
The following conditions must be met before the enabled LED goes on:  
The 5EFL interface is correctly connected and receiving power  
The 5EFL-equipped card or chassis contains a valid microcode version that has been downloaded  
successfully  
The bus recognizes the 5EFL port adapter or 5EFL-equipped VIP2  
If any of these conditions is not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the enabled LED  
does not go on. When a 10BASE-FL port is active, its link LED is on when the 5EFL port adapter  
is receiving a carrier signal from the network.

Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter on a VIP2  
Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter on a VIP2  
This section provides the standard procedures for installing or replacing a port adapter on the VIP2.  
Depending on the circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter on a VIP2  
motherboard or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case, you need a number 1 Phillips  
screwdriver, an antistatic mat onto which you can place the removed interface processor, and an  
antistatic container into which you can place a failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory.  
Caution To prevent system problems, do not remove port adapters from the VIP2 motherboard, or attempt  
to install other port adapters on the VIP2 motherboard, while the system is operating. To install or replace port  
adapters, first remove the VIP2 from its interface processor slot.  
Note Each port adapter circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to ESD damage.  
Each port adapter has one Phillips-head screw that secures it to its port adapter slot. We strongly  
recommend that the following procedures be performed by a Cisco-certified service provider;  
however, this is not a requirement.  
While the VIP2 supports online insertion and removal, individual port adapters do not. To replace  
port adapters, you must first remove the VIP2 from the chassis, then install or replace port adapters  
as required. If a blank port adapter is installed on the VIP2 in which you want to install a new port  
adapter, you must first remove the VIP2 from the chassis, then remove the blank port adapter.  
Caution To prevent interface reconfiguration requirements, you should replace a port adapter with the same  
type of port adapter you removed, but this is not a requirement.  
When only one port adapter is installed on a VIP2, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to  
allow the VIP2 and router chassis to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions  
requirements, and so that air flows through the chassis properly. If you plan to install a new port  
adapter, you must first remove the blank port adapter.  
Use the following standard procedure to remove and replace any type of port adapter on a VIP2:  
Step 1  
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.  
Note If you want to install a new port adapter on a VIP2 with a single port adapter, you  
must first remove the blank port adapter from the port adapter slot in which you want to  
install the new port adapter.  
Step 2  
Step 3  
For a new port adapter installation or a port adapter replacement, disconnect any interface  
cables from the ports on the front of the port adapter, although, this is not required. You  
can remove VIP2s with cables attached; however, we do not recommend it.  
Remove the VIP2 from the system. (Follow the steps in the section “Removing a VIP2”  
in the configuration note Second-Generation Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2)  
Installation and Configuration, which shipped with your VIP2.)

Attaching 5EFL Port Adapter Interface Cables  
Attaching 5EFL Port Adapter Interface Cables  
On a single 5EFL port adapter, you can use up to five pairs of ST fiber-optic connections. The 5EFL  
port adapter is an end station device and not a repeater. You must connect the 5EFL port adapter to  
a 10BASE-FL repeater or hub. ST-type fiber-optic cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they  
are available from outside commercial cable vendors.  
Use the following procedure to connect ST fiber-optic cables to the 5EFL port adapter:  
Step 1  
Attach the RX multimode fiber-optic cable directly to the RX port on the 5EFL port  
adapter. (See Figure 13.)  
Note Port adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is not shown to allow a full  
view of detail on each port adapter’s faceplate.  
Step 2  
Attach the TX multimode fiber-optic cable directly to the TX port on the 5EFL port  
adapter. (See Figure 13.)

external 10BASE-FL equipment.  
Connect a 5EFL TX port to the appropriate RX port of the repeater, hub, DTE or other  
external 10BASE-FL equipment.  
Repeat Steps 1 and 4 for each additional 5EFL interface connection you require.  
This completes cable connection to the 5EFL port adapter.  
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.  
PA-5EFL Ethernet 10BASE-FL Port Adapter Installation and Configuration 17  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
VIP2 and the 5EFL Port Adapter  
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 5EFL  
interfaces on the VIP2, 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 Chassis Slot, Port Adapter, and Ethernet 10BASE-FL Interface Port Numbers  
The following section describes how to identify chassis slot, port adapter, and Ethernet 10BASE-FL  
interface port numbers.  
Note Although the processor slots in the seven-slot Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7507 and 13-slot  
Cisco 7513 are vertically oriented and those in the five-slot Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 are  
horizontally oriented, all models use the same method for slot and port numbering.  
In the router, physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on  
the router interface processor end. (See Figure 14.) This address is composed of a three-part number  
in the format chassis slot number/port adapter number/interface port number, as follows:  
The first number identifies the chassis slot in which the VIP2 is installed (as shown in the  
example system in Figure 14).  
The second number identifies the physical port adapter number on the VIP2, and is either 0 or 1.  
The third number indicates the interface ports on each 5EFL port adapter are always numbered  
in sequence as interface 0 through 4.  
Interface ports on the VIP2 maintain the same address regardless of whether other interface  
processors are installed or removed. However, when you move a VIP2 to a different slot, the first  
number in the address changes to reflect the new slot number.  
Figure 14 shows some of the slot port adapter and interface ports of a sample Cisco 7505 system.  
For example, on a VIP2 equipped with a 5EFL port adapter in slot 3, the addresses of the first 5EFL  
port adapter are 3/0/0 through 3/0/4 (chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 0, and interface ports 0–4), and  
the addresses of the second 5EFL port adapter are 3/1/0 through 3/1/4 (chassis slot 3, port adapter  
slot 0, and interface ports 0–4)  
The first port adapter slot number is always 0. The second port adapter slot number is always 1. The  
individual interface port numbers always begin with 0. For example, in Figure 14, the five  
10BASE-FL interface ports on the 5EFL port adapter in the first port adapter slot in chassis slot 3,  
have the following addresses: 3/0/0, 3/0/1, 3/0/2, 3/0/3, and 3/0/4. (See Figure 14.) The interfaces on  
the second 5EFL port adapter have the following addresses: 3/1/0, 3/1/1, 3/1/2, 3/1/3, and 3/1/4.

Configuring the 5EFL Interfaces  
Note If you remove the 5EFL-equipped VIP2 from slot 3 and install it in slot 2, the addresses of  
those same 10BASE-FL ports become 2/0/0 through 2/0/4 and 2/1/0 through 2/1/4.

You can identify interface ports by physically checking the slot/port adapter/interface port location  
on the back of the router or by using show commands to display information about a specific  
interface or all interfaces in the router.  
Configuring Interfaces  
The following steps describe a basic configuration. Press the Return key after each step unless  
otherwise noted. At any time you can exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering  
disable at the prompt as follows:  
Router# disable  
Router>  
Use the following procedure to perform a basic configuration:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console  
terminal will be the source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:  
Router# configure terminal  
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.  
Router(config)#  
At the prompt, specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand  
interface, followed by the type (ethernet) and slot/port adapter/interface (interface  
processor slot number). The example that follows is for the first interface of the first port  
adapter, on a VIP2 in interface processor slot 1:  
Router(config)# interfacee 1/0/0

VIP2 and the 5EFL Port Adapter  
Step 3  
If IP routing is enabled on the system, you can assign an IP address and subnet mask to  
the interface with the ip address configuration subcommand, as in the following  
example:  
Router(config-int)# ip address 1.1.1.10 255.255.255.0  
Step 4  
Step 5  
Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and  
set the interface characteristics.  
Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:  
Router(config-int)# no shutdown  
Step 6  
Step 7  
Configure additional interfaces as required.  
When you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the  
configuration, press Ctrl-Z to exit configuration mode.  
Step 8  
Write the new configuration to nonvolatile memory as follows:  
Router# copy running-config startup-config  
[OK]  
Router#  
To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the section “Checking the  
Configuration.”  
Checking the Configuration  
After configuring the new interface, use the show commands to display the status of the new  
interface or all interfaces and the ping command to check connectivity.  
Using show Commands to Verify the VIP2 Status  
The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and  
operating correctly.  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Step 3  
Display the system hardware configuration with the show version command. Ensure that  
the list includes the new serial interfaces.  
Display all the current interface processors and their interfaces with the show controllers  
cbus command. Verify that the new VIP2 appears in the correct slot.  
Specify one of the new serial interfaces with the show interfaces type slot/port  
adapter/interface 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.  
Step 4  
Step 5  
Display the protocols configured for the entire system and specific interfaces with the  
show protocols command. 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 show running-config command. Display  
the configuration stored in NVRAM using the show startup-config command. Verify  
that the configuration is accurate for the system and each interface.  
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.

Configuring the 5EFL Interfaces  
Using show Commands to Display Interface Information  
To display information about a specific interface, use the show interfaces command with the  
interface type and port address in the format show interfaces [type slot/port adapter/port].  
Following is an example of how the show interfaces [type slot/port adapter/port] command displays  
status information (including the physical slot and port address) for the interfaces you specify. In  
these examples, most of the status information for each interface is omitted, and the five Ethernet  
10BASE-FL interfaces (0–4) are in chassis slot 3, in port adapter slot 0. (Interfaces are  
administratively shut down until you enable them.)

Using the ping Command  
The packet internet groper (ping) command allows you to verify that an interface port is functioning  
properly and to check the path between a specific port and connected devices at various locations on  
the network. This section provides brief descriptions of the ping command. After you verify that the  
system and VIP2 have booted successfully and are operational, you can use this command to verify  
the status of interface ports. Refer to the publications listed in the section “If You Need More  
Information” on page 2, for detailed command descriptions and examples.  
The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify.  
After sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo  
the signals. Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal;  
each signal that is not returned before the specified time-out is displayed as a period (.). A series of  
exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages  
[timed out] or [failed] indicate that the connection failed.  
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 1.1.1.10:  
Router# ping 1.1.1.10 <Return>  
Type escape sequence to abort.  
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 1.1.1.10, timeout is 2 seconds:  
!!!!!  
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms  
Router#  
If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and  
that the server is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.  
For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available for  
VIP2-related interfaces, and which support VIP2 functionality, refer to the publications listed in the  
section “If You Need More Information” on page 2.

Cisco 7200 Series and the 5EFL Port Adapter  
Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter in Cisco 7200 Series Routers  
This section provides the standard procedures for installing or replacing port adapters in a  
Cisco 7200 series router.  
Depending on your circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter in a Cisco 7200  
series router or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case no tools are necessary; all port  
adapters available for the Cisco 7200 series connect directly to the router midplane and are locked  
into position by a port adapter lever. When removing and replacing a port adapter, you will need an  
antistatic mat onto which you can place a removed port adapter and an antistatic container into which  
you can place a failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory.  
Note The Cisco 7200 series routers support OIR; therefore, you do not have to power down the  
Cisco 7200 series routers when removing and replacing a port adapter.  
When a port adapter slot is not in use, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the router  
to conform to EMI emissions requirements and to allow proper air flow across the port adapters. If  
you plan to install a new port adapter in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove a blank port  
adapter.  
Removing a Port Adapter  
Use the following standard procedure to remove a port adapter from a Cisco 7200 series router:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.  
Place the port adapter lever for the desired port adapter slot in the unlocked position. The  
port adapter lever remains in the unlocked position. (Refer to Figure 16.)

Cisco 7200 Series and the 5EFL Port Adapter  
Attaching 5EFL Port Adapter Interface Cables  
On a single 5EFL port adapter, you can use up to five pairs of ST fiber-optic connections. The 5EFL  
port adapter is an end station device and not a repeater; you must connect the 5EFL port adapter to  
a 10BASE-FL repeater or hub. ST-type fiber-optic cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they  
are available from outside commercial cable vendors.  
Connect ST fiber-optic cables to the 5EFL port adapter as follows:  
Step 1  
Attach the RX multimode fiber-optic cable directly to the RX port on the 5EFL port  
adapter. (See Figure 20.)  
Note Port adapters have a handle attached, but it is not shown in Figure 20 to allow a  
full view of the detail on each port adapter’s faceplate.  
Step 2  
Attach the TX multimode fiber-optic cable directly to the TX port on the 5EFL port  
adapter. (See Figure 20.)

external 10BASE-FL equipment.  
Repeat Steps 1 and 4 for each additional 5EFL interface connection you require.  
This completes cable connection to the 5EFL port adapter.

Configuring the 5EFL Interfaces  
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.  
PA-5EFL Ethernet 10BASE-FL Port Adapter Installation and Configuration 31  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Cisco 7200 Series and the 5EFL Port Adapter  
Figure 21 shows the port adapter slots and interface ports of a Cisco 7206. The port adapter slot  
numbers start with 1 and continue through 6 (slot 0 is always reserved for the Fast Ethernet port on  
the I/O controller—if present). The individual interface port numbers always begin with 0. The  
number of additional ports depends on the number of ports on a port adapter.  
For example, the five interface ports on a 5EFL port adapter in port adapter slot 1 would have the  
addresses 1/0 through 1/4. (See Figure 21.) If the 5EFL port adapter was in port adapter slot 5, these  
same interface ports would be numbered 5/0 through 5/4. Port adapters can occupy any port adapter  
slot. There are no restrictions.

You can identify interface ports by physically checking the slot/interface port location on the front  
of the router or by using show commands to display information about a specific interface or all  
interfaces in the router.  
Configuring Interfaces  
The following steps describe a basic interface configuration. Press the Return key after each step  
unless otherwise noted. At any time you can exit the privileged level and return to the user level by  
entering disable at the prompt as follows:  
Router# disable  
Router>  
Use the following procedure to perform a basic configuration:  
Step 1  
At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console  
terminal will be the source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:  
Router# configure terminal  
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.  
Router(config)#

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Configuring the 5EFL Interfaces  
Step 2  
Step 3  
At the prompt, specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand  
interface, followed by the type (ethernet) and slot/interface (port adapter slot number  
and interface number). The example that follows is for the first interface of the port  
adapter in slot 2:  
Router(config)# interfacee 2/0  
If IP routing is enabled on the system, you can assign an IP address and subnet mask to  
the interface with the ip address configuration subcommand, as in the following  
example:  
Router(config-int)# ip address 1.1.1.10 255.255.255.0  
Step 4  
Step 5  
Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and  
set the interface characteristics.  
Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:  
Router(config-int)# no shutdown  
Step 6  
Step 7  
Configure additional interfaces as required.  
When you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the  
configuration, press Ctrl-Z to exit configuration mode.  
Step 8  
Write the new configuration to nonvolatile memory as follows:  
Router# copy running-config startup-config  
[OK]  
Router#  
To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the section “Checking the  
Configuration.”  
Checking the Configuration  
After configuring the new interface, use the show commands to display the status of the new  
interface or all interfaces and the ping command to check connectivity.  
Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status  
The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and  
operating correctly.  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Step 3  
Display the system hardware configuration with the show version command. Ensure that  
the list includes the new serial interfaces.  
Display all the current interface processors and their interfaces with the show controllers  
command. Verify that the new 5EFL port adapter appears in the correct slot.  
Specify one of the new interfaces with the show interfaces port adapter type  
slot/interface 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.  
Step 4  
Display the protocols configured for the entire system and specific interfaces with the  
show protocols command. If necessary, return to configuration mode to add or remove  
protocol routing on the system or specific interfaces.

Cisco 7200 Series and the 5EFL Port Adapter  
Step 5  
Display the running configuration file with the show running-config command. Display  
the configuration stored in NVRAM using the show startup-config command. Verify  
that the configuration is accurate for the system and each interface.  
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.  
Using show Commands to Display Interface Information  
To display information about a specific interface, use the show interfaces command with the  
interface type and port address in the format show interfaces [type slot/port].  
Following is an example of how the show interfaces [type slot/port] command displays status  
information (including the physical slot and port address) for the interfaces you specify. In these  
examples, most of the status information for each interface is omitted, and the five Ethernet  
10BASE-FL interfaces (0–4) are in port adapter slot 2. (Interfaces are administratively shut down  
until you enable them.)

Use the sh diag command to display the hardware revision.  
For complete Cisco 7206 command descriptions and examples, refer to the publications listed in the  
section “If You Need More Information” on page 2.  
Using the ping Command  
The packet internet groper (ping) command allows you to verify that an interface port is functioning  
properly and to check the path between a specific port and connected devices at various locations on  
the network. This section provides brief descriptions of the ping command. After you verify that the  
system has booted successfully and is operational, you can use this command to verify the status of  
interface ports. Refer to the publications listed in the section “If You Need More Information” on  
page 2, for detailed command descriptions and examples.  
The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify.  
After sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo  
the signals. Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal;  
each signal that is not returned before the specified time-out is displayed as a period (.). A series of  
exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages  
[timed out] or [failed] indicate that the connection failed.  
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 1.1.1.10:  
Router# ping 1.1.1.10 <Return>  
Type escape sequence to abort.  
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 1.1.1.10, timeout is 2 seconds:  
!!!!!  
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms  
Router#  
If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and  
that the server is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.
