Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces

To configure the Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface on the Cisco 3825 router, complete the following tasks:

Configuring the GE Interface IP Address

Setting the Speed and Duplex Mode, page 4-8

Enabling the GE Interface, page 4-9

Configuring the GE Interface IP Address

Use the following instructions to perform a basic GE IP Address configuration: specifying the port
adapter and aligning an IP address and subnet mask of the interface.

Note

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

Router#

prompt.

To configure the GE interface, follow these steps, while in the global configuration mode:

Step 1

Specify the port adapter type and the location of the interface to be configured.

Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet

slot/port

The slot represents the main fixed slots and is always 0 and the port is the number of the port (0 or 1).

Step 2

Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface.

Router(config-if)# ip address

ip_address subnet_mask

Setting the Speed and Duplex Mode

The GE ports of the Cisco 3825 router can run in full- or half- duplex mode and at 1000 Mbps, 100 Mbps,
or 10 Mbps. The Cisco 3825 router has an auto-negotiation feature that allows the router to negotiate the
speed and duplex mode with the corresponding interface at the other end of the connection.

Auto-negotiation is the default setting for the speed and transmission mode.
