Configuring the NM-AIC-64, Contact Closure Network Module Chapter 3 Configuring with the Command-Line Interface Table 3-9 Configuring IP Routing to the AIC with an Unnumbered IP Address Step 1 Command Router# show run Purpose Determines if the AIC is installed correctly in the router. If the AIC has been installed correctly, then the following appears: interface serialslot/port Step 2 Step 3 Router# configure terminal Router(config)# alarm-interface slot Step 4 Router(config-aic)# ip address ip-address mask Step 5 Router(config-aic)# reset Step 6 Router(config-aic)# exit where the slot is the slot in which the AIC is inserted, and the port is 0. Starts the configuration session. Enters the AIC interface mode, specifying the slot number into which the AIC is installed. Enters the IP address of the AIC. Entering a mask is optional, because the IP address does not use a subnet address. Resets the AIC. Changing the IP configuration may not take until the next time the card is started. The reset command restarts the card. Exits the AIC interface mode. Configuring the IP Route to the AIC There are many ways to configure IP routing to the AIC. Below are two methods. The first method, shown in Table 3-10, uses an unnumbered IP address. It is used when an administrator wants to assign an IP address that is already known to the router, such as an address that is one of the addresses in the subnet of a FastEthernet IP address. The second method, shown in Table 3-11, does not use an unnumbered IP address and is used when there is a subnet available to the serial interface and to the AIC. Usually this subnet is small with a subnet mask such as 255.255.255.252.
