The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Ethernet 10BaseT Overview

The term Ethernet is commonly used for all carrier sense multiple access/collision detect (CSMA/CD)
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 Ethernet 10BaseT port adapter without any hardware configuration changes. Ethernet and
IEEE 802.3 are the most widely used LAN protocols. They are well suited to applications in which a
local communication medium must carry sporadic, occasionally heavy traffic at high peak data rates.
Stations on a CSMA/CD LAN can access the network at any time. Before sending data, the station listens
to the network to see if it is already in use. If the network is in use, the station waits until the network is
not in use, and then transmits. A collision occurs when two stations listen for network traffic, and do not
hear any, and then 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. If the destination is correct, it passes the frames 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.

PA-8E LEDs

PA-8E LEDs
The PA-8E has one status LED for each port, and an ENABLED LED, standard on all port adapters.
After system initialization, the ENABLE LED lights to indicate that the PA-8E has been enabled for
operation. The LEDs are shown in Figure 1-2.

The following conditions must be met before the ENABLED LED lights:
• PA-8E is correctly connected and receiving power.
• A valid microcode version has been downloaded successfully.
• The bus recognizes the PA-8E or PA-8E-equipped VIP or Catalyst RSM/VIP2.
If any of these conditions is not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the ENABLED LED
does not light. When an RJ-45 port is active, its link LED lights when the PA-8E receives a carrier signal
from the network.
Table 1-3 lists LED colors and indications.

Cables, Connectors, and Pinouts

The interface connectors on the PA-8E are eight individual RJ-45 receptacles. You can use all eight
connectors simultaneously. Each connector supports IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet 10BaseT interfaces
compliant with appropriate standards. The RJ-45 connectors require external transceivers.
Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5 UTP RJ-45 cables; these cables are available commercially.
Figure 1-3 shows the RJ-45 connectors. Table 1-4 lists the pinouts and signals for the RJ-45 connectors.

Warning The ports labeled “Ethernet,” “10BaseT,” “Token Ring,” “Console,” and “AUX” are safety extra-low
voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits. Because the
BRI circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the
telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.

Note Referring to the RJ-45 pinout in Table 1-4, proper common-mode line terminations should be used for
the unused Category 5, UTP cable pairs 4/5 and 7/8. Common-mode termination reduces the
contributions to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and susceptibility to common-mode sources. Wire
pairs 4/5 and 7/8 are actively terminated in the RJ-45 port circuitry in the PA-8E.

Catalyst RSM/VIP2 Slot Numbering

The Catalyst RSM/VIP2 can be installed in any slot in a Catalyst 5000 family switch except the top slots,
which contain the supervisor engine modules. The Catalyst RSM/VIP2 does not use interface processor
slot numbering; therefore, slots are not numbered. The PA-8E can be installed into either port adapter
slot 0 or slot 1 on a Catalyst RSM/VIP2. Figure 1-6 shows a Catalyst RSM/VIP2 with two port adapters
installed.

Note The Catalyst 5500 switch has 13 slots. Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine module. If a redundant
supervisor engine module is used, it would go in slot 2; otherwise, slot 2 can be used for other modules.
Slot 13 is a dedicated slot, reserved for the ATM Switch Processor (ASP) module. Refer to the Catalyst
5000 Series Route Switch Module Installation and Configuration Note for any additional slot restrictions
for the Catalyst RSM/VIP2.

slots 9 through 12). Slots 6 and 7 are always reserved for RSPs. The Cisco 7513 router is not shown.

Identifying Interface Addresses

This section describes how to identify interface addresses for the PA-8E in supported platforms.
Interface addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface on a router or switch.
Interfaces on the PA-8E installed in a router maintain the same address regardless of whether other
port adapters are installed or removed. However, when you move a port adapter to a different slot, the
first number in the interface address changes to reflect the new port adapter slot number.
Interfaces on the PA-8E installed in a VIP or FlexWAN module maintain the same address regardless of
whether other interface processors or modules are installed or removed. However, when you move a VIP
or FlexWAN module to a different slot, the interface processor or module slot number changes to reflect
the new interface processor or module slot.

Note Interface ports are numbered from left to right starting with 0.

The following subsections describe the interface address formats the supported platforms:
• Catalyst RSM/VIP2 Interface Addresses, page 1-15

Catalyst RSM/VIP2 Interface Addresses

In Catalyst 5000 family switches, the Catalyst RSM/VIP2 can be installed in any slot except the top slots,
which contain the supervisor engine modules. The Catalyst RSM/VIP2 in a Catalyst 5000 family switch
does not use interface processor slot numbering; therefore, the slots in which it is installed are not
numbered. A port adapter can be installed into either port adapter slot 0 or slot 1 on a Catalyst
RSM/VIP2. See Figure 1-5.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format
port-adapter-slot number/interface-port number. See Table 1-5. For example, if the eight-port PA-8E is
installed in a VIP in interface processor slot 1, port adapter slot 1, the interface addresses would be 1/1/0,
1/1/1, 1/1/2, 1/1/3, 1/1/4, 1/1/5, 1/1/6, and 1/1/7 (interface processor slot 1, port adapter slot 1, and
interfaces 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7).

7140 series router, port adapters are installed in port adapter slot 4. See Figure 1-8.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format
port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-5. For example, if an eight-port PA-8E is
installed on a Cisco 7120 router, the interface addresses would be 3/0 through 3/7 (port adapter slot 3,
and interfaces 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7). If an eight-port PA-8E is installed on a Cisco 7140 router, the
interface addresses would be 4/0 through 4/7 (port adapter slot 4, and interfaces 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7).

Cisco 7200 Series Routers and Cisco 7200 VXR Routers Interface Addresses
In Cisco 7200 series routers and Cisco 7200 VXR routers, port adapter slots are numbered from the
lower left to the upper right, beginning with slot 1 and continuing through slot 2 for the Cisco 7202,
slot 4 for the Cisco 7204 and Cisco 7204VXR, and slot 6 for the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR. Port
adapters can be installed in any available port adapter slot from 1 through 6 (depending on the number
of slots in the router). (Slot 0 is reserved for the I/O controller.) See Figure 1-9.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format
port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-5. For example, if an eight-port PA-8E is
installed in slot 1of a Cisco 7200 series router, the interface addresses would be 1/0 through 1/7 (port
adapter slot 1 and interfaces 0 through 7).

Cisco uBR7200 Series Routers Interface Addresses

In the Cisco uBR7223 router, only one slot accepts port adapters and it is numbered slot 1.
In the Cisco uBR7246 router and Cisco uBR7246VXR router, port adapters can be installed in two port
adapter slots (slot1 and slot 2). Slot 0 is always reserved for the I/O controller—if present. See
Figure 1-10.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format
port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-5. For example, if an eight-port PA-8E is
installed in slot 1of a Cisco uBR7223 series router, the interface addresses would be 1/0 through 1/7. If
an eight-port PA-8E is installed in slot 2 of a Cisco uBR7246 or Cisco uBR7246VXR router, the
interface addresses would be 2/0 through 2/7.

Cisco 7201 Router Interface Addresses

In the Cisco 7201 router, only one slot accepts port adapters and it is numbered as slot 1. See
Figure 1-11.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format
port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-5. For example, if an eight-port PA-8E is
installed in a Cisco 7201 router, the interface addresses would be 1/0 through 1/7.

The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format
port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-5. For example, if an eight-port PA-8E is
installed in a Cisco 7401ASR router, the interface addresses would be 1/0 through 1/7.

Cisco 7000 Series Routers and Cisco 7500 Series Routers VIP Interface
Addresses
In Cisco 7000 series routers and Cisco 7500 series routers, port adapters are installed on a versatile
interface processor (VIP), which installs in interface processor slots 0 through 12 (depending on the
number of slots in the router). The port adapter can be installed in either bay (port adapter slot 0 or 1)
on the VIP. See Figure 1-16 and Figure 1-17.
The interface address for the VIP is composed of a three-part number in the format
interface-processor-slot-number/port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-5.
The first number identifies the slot in which the VIP is installed (slot 0 through 12, depending on the
number of slots in the router).
The second number identifies the bay (port adapter slot) on the VIP in which the port adapter is installed
(0 or 1). The bays are numbered from left to right on the VIP.
The third number identifies the physical port number (interface port number) on the port adapter. The
port numbers always begin at 0 and are numbered from left to right. The number of additional ports
depends on the number of ports on the port adapter. The PA-8E is an eight-port port adapter, therefore
the port can be 0 through 7.

 Chapter 1 Overview
Identifying Interface Addresses

For example, if an eight-port PA-8E is installed in a VIP in interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1,
the interface addresses would be 3/1/0 through 3/1/7 (interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1, and
interfaces 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7).

Note Although the processor slots in the 7-slot Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7507 and the 13-slot Cisco 7513 and
Cisco 7576 are vertically oriented and those in the 5-slot Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 are horizontally
oriented, all Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers use the same method for slot and port
numbering.

Safety Guidelines

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.
• 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.

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
comprise 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 board component-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.

OL-3494-04 2-9
 Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
FCC Class B Compliance

• 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 (Mohm).

FCC Class B Compliance

The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and
television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are
designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference
stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment
causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more
of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is,
make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit
breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and
negate your authority to operate the product.

Removing and Installing Port Adapters

This chapter describes how to remove the PA-8E from supported platforms and also how to install a new
or replacement port adapter. This chapter contains the following sections:
• Handling Port Adapters, page 3-1
• Online Insertion and Removal, page 3-2
• Warnings and Cautions, page 3-3
• Port Adapter Removal and Installation, page 3-4
• Connecting PA-8E Interface Cables, page 3-16

Handling Port Adapters

Each port adapter circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD) damage.

Note When a port adapter slot is not in use, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the router or
switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper
airflow 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 the blank port adapter.

Caution When powering off the router, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before powering it on again.

Caution Always handle the port adapter by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the port adapter components
or connector pins. (See Figure 3-1.)

Online Insertion and Removal
Several platforms support online insertion and removal (OIR) of port adapters; therefore, you do not
have to power down routers when removing and replacing a PA-8E in the Cisco 7100 series routers,
Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco 7200 VXR routers, Cisco uBR7200 series routers, Cisco 7201 router,
Cisco 7301 router, or Cisco 7401ASR router.
Although the Catalyst RSM/VIP2, Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card, and VIP support online
insertion and removal, individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters, you must first remove
the Catalyst RSM/VIP2, Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card, or VIP from the router and then install
or replace port adapters as required. If a blank port adapter is installed on the Catalyst RSM/VIP2,
Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card, or VIP on which you want to install a new port adapter, you
must first remove the Catalyst RSM/VIP2, Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card, or VIP from the
router and then remove the blank port adapter.

Caution To prevent system problems, do not remove port adapters from the Catalyst RSM/VIP2, Cisco 7304 PCI
port adapter carrier card or VIP, or attempt to install other port adapters when the system is operating.
To install or replace port adapters, first remove the Catalyst RSM/VIP2, Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter
carrier card or VIP from the router.

It is wise to gracefully shut down the system before removing a port adapter that has active traffic moving
through it. Removing a port adapter while traffic is flowing through the ports can cause system
disruption. Once the port adapter is inserted, the ports can be brought back up.

Note As you disengage the port adapter from the router or switch, online insertion and removal (OIR)
administratively shuts down all active interfaces in the port adapter.

OIR allows you to install and replace port adapters while the router is operating; you do not need to
notify the software or shut down the system power, although you should not run traffic through the port
adapter you are removing while it is being removed. OIR is a method that is seamless to end users on
the network, maintains all routing information, and preserves sessions.
The following is a functional description of OIR for background information only; for specific
procedures for installing and replacing a port adapter in a supported platform, refer to the “Port Adapter
Removal and Installation” section on page 3-4.

3-2 OL-3494-04
Chapter 3 Removing and Installing Port Adapters
Warnings and Cautions

Each port adapter has a bus connector that connects it to the router. The connector has a set of tiered pins
in three lengths that send specific signals to the system as they make contact with the port adapter. The
system assesses the signals it receives and the order in which it receives them to determine if a port
adapter is being removed from or introduced to the system. From these signals, the system determines
whether to reinitialize a new interface or to shut down a disconnected interface.
Specifically, when you insert a port adapter, the longest pins make contact with the port adapter first, and
the shortest pins make contact last. The system recognizes the signals and the sequence in which it
receives them.
When you remove or insert a port adapter, the pins send signals to notify the system of changes. The
router then performs the following procedure:
1. Rapidly scans the system for configuration changes.
2. Initializes newly inserted port adapters or administratively shuts down any vacant interfaces.
3. Brings all previously configured interfaces on the port adapter back to their previously installed
state. Any newly inserted interface is put in the administratively shutdown state, as if it was present
(but not configured) at boot time. If a similar port adapter type is reinserted into a slot, its ports are
configured and brought online up to the port count of the originally installed port adapter of that
type.

Note Before you begin installation, read Chapter 2, “Preparing for Installation,” for a list of parts and tools
required for installation.

Warnings and Cautions

Observe the following warnings and cautions when installing or removing port adapters.

Caution Do not slide a port adapter all the way into the slot until you have connected all required cables. Trying
to do so disrupts normal operation of the router or switch.

Note If a port adapter lever or other retaining mechanism does not move to the locked position, the port
adapter is not completely seated in the midplane. Carefully pull the port adapter halfway out of the slot,
reinsert it, and move the port adapter lever or other mechanism to the locked position.

Caution To prevent jamming the carrier between the upper and the lower edges of the port adapter slot, and to
ensure that the edge connector at the rear of the port adapter mates with the connection at the rear of the
port adapter slot, make certain that the carrier is positioned correctly, as shown in the cutaway
illustrations in the “Port Adapter Removal and Installation” section on page 3-4.

Warning When performing the following procedures, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the
card. Some platforms have an ESD connector for attaching the wrist strap. Do not directly touch the
midplane or backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.

Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card—Removing and Installing a Port
Adapter
You can install one single-width port adapter in a Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card. This
section provides step-by-step instructions for removing and installing a port adapter in a Cisco 7304 PCI
Port Adapter Carrier Card.

Warning When performing the following procedures, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the
Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card. Some platforms have an ESD connector for attaching the wrist
strap. Do not directly touch the midplane or backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could
shock yourself.

To remove and install a port adapter in a Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card, refer to Figure 3-2
and do the following:

Step 1 If the Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card is still in the router, you must remove the Cisco 7304
PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card before removing a port adapter.
Step 2 To remove the port adapter from the Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card, turn the port adapter
lock from its locked and horizontal position shown in A of Figure 3-2 to its unlocked and vertical
position shown in B of Figure 3-2.
Step 3 Grasp the handle of the port adapter and pull the port adapter from the Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter
Carrier Card. (You have already disconnected the cables from the port adapter when removing the

Connecting PA-8E Interface Cables

On a single PA-8E, you can use up to eight RJ-45 connectors.

Note RJ-45 cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from outside commercial cable
vendors.

Connect RJ-45 cables to the PA-8E port adapter as follows:

Step 1 Attach the Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable directly to the RJ-45 port on the PA-8E. (See
Figure 3-3.)

Note The PA-8E is an end station device and not a repeater. You must connect the PA-8E to a repeater
or hub.

Configuring the PA-8E

To continue your PA-8E port adapter installation, you must configure the ethernet interfaces. The
instructions that follow apply to all supported platforms. Minor differences between the platforms are
noted.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Using the EXEC Command Interpreter, page 4-1
• Configuring the PA-8E Interfaces, page 4-2
• Checking the Configuration, page 4-10

Using the EXEC Command Interpreter

You modify the configuration of your router through the software command interpreter called the EXEC
(also called enable mode). You must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter with
the enable command before you can use the configure command to configure a new interface or to
change the existing configuration of an interface. The system prompts you for a password if one has been
set. The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket (>).
At the console terminal, use the following procedure to enter the privileged level:

Step 1 At the user-level EXEC prompt, enter the enable command. The EXEC prompts you for a
privileged-level password as follows:
Router> enable

Password:

Step 2 Enter the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed.
When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system prompt (#):
Router#

OL-3494-04 4-1
 Chapter 4 Configuring the PA-8E
Configuring the PA-8E Interfaces

Configuring the PA-8E Interfaces

After you verify that the new PA-8E is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on), use the
privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Have the following information
available:
• Protocols you plan to route on each new interface
• IP addresses, if you plan to configure the interfaces for IP routing
• Bridging protocols you plan to use
If you installed a new PA-8E or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must
enter configuration mode to configure the new interfaces. If you replaced a PA-8E that was previously
configured, the system recognizes the new interfaces and brings each of them up in their existing
configurations.

Note The PA-8E interfaces can both be configured at 10 Mbps, full duplex (FDX), for a maximum aggregate
bandwidth of 80 Mbps.

For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring interfaces on a
PA-8E, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the “Related Documentation” section
on page viii.
You execute configuration commands from the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter, which
usually requires password access. Contact your system administrator, if necessary, to obtain password
access. (See the “Using the EXEC Command Interpreter” section on page 4-1 for an explanation of the
privileged level of the EXEC.)
This section contains the following subsections:
• Shutting Down an Interface, page 4-2
• Performing a Basic Interface Configuration, page 4-8

Shutting Down an Interface

Before you remove an interface that you will not replace, or replace port adapters, use the shutdown
command to shut down (disable) the interfaces to prevent anomalies when you reinstall the new or
reconfigured port adapter. When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in
the show command displays.
Follow these steps to shut down an interface:

Step 1 Enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (also called enable mode). (See the “Using
the EXEC Command Interpreter” section on page 4-1 for instructions.)
Step 2 At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal is the
source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#

Step 3 Shut down interfaces by entering the interface ethernet subcommand (followed by the interface address
of the interface), and then enter the shutdown command.

When you have finished, 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.

Configuring the PA-8E Interfaces

Performing a Basic Interface Configuration

Following are instructions for a basic configuration, which include enabling an interface, and specifying
IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration subcommands, depending on the
requirements for your system configuration and the protocols you plan to route on the interface. For
complete descriptions of configuration subcommands and the configuration options available for
ethernet interfaces, refer to the appropriate software documentation.
In the following procedure, 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>

Step 1 Enter configuration mode and specify that the console terminal is the source of the configuration
subcommands, as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#

Step 2 Specify the first interface to configure by entering the interface ethernet subcommand, followed by the
interface address of the interface you plan to configure. (The command for your port adapter may be
different, for example, interface atm.)
Table 4-3 provides examples of interface ethernet subcommand for the supported platforms.

Proceed to the next section, “Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity,” to check
network connectivity of the PA-8E and switch or router.

Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity

Using the ping command, you can verify that an interface port is functioning properly. This section
provides a brief description of this command. Refer to the publications listed in the “Related
Documentation” section on page viii for detailed command descriptions and examples.
The ping command sends echo request packets out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify.
After sending an echo request, the system waits a specified time for the remote device to reply. Each
echo reply is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each request that is not
returned before the specified timeout 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 a
bad connection.
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 10.0.0.10:
Router# ping 10.0.0.10 <Return>
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.0.0.10, 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 destination and that the device
is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.
