I need a little help in Configuring my Cisco 2621...

[irish411]

I have a running config that I just installed a second fast Ethernet card in and that will server as our DMZ line.

In the Config of the Cisco 2621 I gave that card an IP address and here is what shows up:

--------------------------------
!
interface Ethernet1/0
ip address 192.168.2.80 255.255.255.0
shutdown
full-duplex
!
--------------------------------

What does the "Shutdown", "No Shutdown" mean. And how to I make the "Full-Duplex" say "Duplex-Auto"?

Any help for this Rookie would be greatly appreciated.

Shutdown/No Shutdown determines wether the interface is going to pass traffic or not. Simply put you are enabling/disableing the interface.

With your ethernet interface, you will have to choose between duplex half and duplex full.

You can check this by going into the interface and doing a ?.

--------
int e1/0
duplex ?
--------

You need to enable the interface.

1.Go into global config mode:
router# conf t
2.Go into interface config-mode
router(config)# int e1/0
3.Issue a no shutdown command
router(config-if)# no shut
4.Exit config mode
router(config-if)# end <enter>

The interface will enable, if the cabling is OK.

Hope this helps...
