Configuring IP over a Static Ethernet Interface

To configure IP over an Ethernet interface:

1. Specify a Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, or 10-Gigabit Ethernet port.
   host1(config)#interface fastEthernet 4/1
2. Create an IP interface.
   host1(config-if)#ip address 192.5.127.8 255.255.255.0

Figure 9 illustrates this configuration.
