Procedure 18-2.5: Configure Ethernet interface for MLPPP

- Overview

Use this procedure to configure the Ethernet interfaces used for MLPPP.

This procedure assumes that the VLNC60/61/62 has been previously installed.

Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Command Line Interface Guide, for help on using CLI commands.

Step
 
1

If required, login to the VLNC60/61/62.

Result:

The User EXEC prompt [(ALU switching)>] displays.


2

Enter the Global Config mode:

  1. From the User EXEC prompt, enter enable to enter the Privileged EXEC mode.

  2. From the Privileged EXEC prompt, enter configure to enter the Global Config mode.


3

Configure the Ethernet interface port.

From the Global Config mode, enter interface <interface-number>, to enter the Interface Config Mode where “interface-number” is a number in the range of d{1-2}-{1-2} for the Ethernet port you are provisioning.

Example: (ALU Switching)(Config)# interface d2-1.


4

Specify a description for the Ethernet interface.

From the Interface Config Mode, enter interface <description> where description is in a range of 1-32 alphanumeric character string.

Example: (ALU Switching) (Interface d2-1)# RemoteSiteSlot2Port1


5

If required, from the Interface Config Mode, enter auto-negotiate to enable auto-negotiation. Default is disabled, except for 1000BASE-T ports which are always enabled.


6

Enable routing on the ethernet interface.

Example:

Example: (ALU-Switching) (Interface d2-1) # routing


7

Configure IP address that is required for routing IP packets.

Example:

Example: (ALU-Switching) (Interface d2-1) # ip address 100.100.100.1 255.255.255.0


8

Enable the Ethernet interface.

From the Interface Config mode, enter no shutdown.

Example:

(ALU Switching) (Interface d2-1)# no shutdown


9

Enter exit to return to the Global Config Mode, if required.
