Configuring HWIC-D-9ESW Interfaces

This chapter provides instructions for configuring interfaces on the HWIC-D-9ESW card. Follow these steps to configure a pair of ports on two different switch modules as stacking partners.
Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

enable
Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal
Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3
interface fastethernet interface-id
Example:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 
0/3/1
Specifies the port to configure and enters interface configuration mode.

•Enter the interface number.
Step 4
no shutdown
Example:

Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Activates the interface.

•This step is required only if you shut down the interface.
Step 5
switchport stacking-partner interface 
fastethernet partner-interface-id
Example:

Router(config-if)# switchport stacking-partner interface FastEthernet partner-interface-id
Selects and configures the stacking partner port.

•Enter the partner interface number.

•To restore the defaults, use the no form of this command.
Step 6
exit
Example:

Router(config-if)# exit
Returns to privileged configuration mode.
Step 7
interface gigabitethernet 
partner-interface-id
Example:
Router# interface gigabitethernet 0/3/1
Specifies the partner-interface, and enters interface configuration mode.

•Enter the partner interface number.

Note When you configure the FastEthernet port as a stacking partner, the corresponding GigabitEthernet interface is automatically configured as a stacking partner.
Step 8
no shutdown
Example:

Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Activates the stacking partner interface.
Step 9
end
Example:

Router(config-if)# end
Exits configuration mode.
When you have completed the configuration, connect a crossover Ethernet cable from FastEthernet port 8 of the HWIC-D-9ESW card to the GigabitEthernet port that you want to use as a stacking partner.

For more information about how to configure other features on the HWIC-D-9ESW card, see Chapter 5 "Configuring Layer 2 Interfaces."

Note Both stacking partner ports must have their speed and duplex parameters set to auto.

Caution If stacking is removed, stacked interfaces will go to shutdown state. Other nonstacked ports will be left unchanged.

Note For more detailed instructions on how to connect cables, see the Cisco MWR 2941-DC Mobile Wireless Edge Router Hardware Installation Guide.
