Configuration Tasks

To configure a POS interface:

  1. Configure a physical interface.
    host1(config)#interface pos 0/1
  2. (Optional) Assign a text description or an alias to the interface.
    host1(config-if)#pos description austin01 pos interface
  3. Configure the encapsulation method.
    host1(config-if)#encapsulation ppp
  4. (Optional) Configure the internal clock source.
    host1(config-if)#clock source internal module
  5. (Optional) Set the size of the CRC.
    host1(config-if)#crc 32
  6. (Optional) Set the time interval at which the router calculates bit and packet rate counters.
    host1(config-if)#load-interval 90
  7. (Optional) Set the type of loopback mode.
    host1(config-if)#loopback line
  8. (Optional) Set the MRU size.
    host1(config-if)#mru 1000
  9. (Optional) Set the MTU size.
    host1(config-if)#mtu 1000
  10. (Optional) Set the type of framing.
    host1(config-if)#pos framing sdh
  11. Disable payload scrambling.
    host1(config-if)#no pos scramble-atm
  12. (Optional) Disable an interface.
    host1(config-if)#shutdown
