Chapter 3
Installing the Cisco 10720 Internet Router
Additional Configuration Features
Configuring Fast Ethernet
The basic Fast Ethernet configuration task for the router is located in the
Cisco IOS Software
Configuration for the Cisco 10720 Internet Router
publication under “Configuring a Fast Ethernet
Interface.”
Configuring Gigabit Ethernet
The basic Gigabit Ethernet configuration task for the router is located in the
Cisco IOS Software
Configuration for the Cisco 10720 Internet Router
publication under “Configuring a Gigabit Ethernet
Interface.”
Configuring TDR on TX Access Card
The Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) sends a signal from one end of a cable and measures the time
for the signal to reflect back. To detect shorts and breaks, to measure the length of the cable, and to find
other physical-layer network problems, use the TDR.
The TDR is used for Fast Ethernet ports on 10/100BASE-TX and 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet 8-Port 10/100
Ethernet TX access cards. For information about how to use the TDR, refer to “Testing for a Cable
Problem on a Fast Ethernet Interface” in the
Cisco IOS Software Configuration for the Cisco 10720
Internet Router
publication.
Assigning IP Information
To assign IP addresses to interfaces, refer to “Configuring a Fast Ethernet Connection” in the
Cisco IOS
Software Configuration for the Cisco 10720 Internet Router
publication.
Enabling Write Permission to Bootflash
The router provides 64 MB of Flash memory. There are 16 MB dedicated to the bootflash, a read-only
partition containing the Cisco IOS software image that shipped with the router. There are 48 MB
dedicated to the Flash, a read-write partition containing downloaded Cisco IOS software images.
To enable the write permission to the bootflash, use the
bootflash-write enable
command.
router(config)#
bootflash-write enable
Caution
Writing to bootflash memory is not recommended.
Upgrading the Cisco IOS Software Image
You can upgrade the Cisco IOS software image on the router by copying the image to Flash memory and
then restarting the router using the updated image.
