Chapter 16. Configuring IEEE 802.5 Token-Ring Network
Interfaces
This chapter describes Token-Ring interfaces configuration and operational
commands. It includes the following sections:
v “Accessing the Token-Ring Interface Configuration Process”
v “Token-Ring Configuration Commands”
v “Accessing the Interface Monitoring Process” on page 228
v “Token-Ring Interface Monitoring Commands” on page 229
v “Token-Ring Interfaces and the GWCON Interface Command” on page 230
Accessing the Token-Ring Interface Configuration Process
To display the TKR config> prompt, enter the network command followed by the
interface number of the Token-Ring interface. For example:
Config>network 0
Token-Ring interface configuration
TKR Config>
Use the list devices command at the Config> prompt to display a list of interface
numbers configured on the router.
Note: Whenever you change a parameter, you must restart the router for the
changes to take effect.
Token-Ring Configuration Commands
This section describes the Token-Ring configuration commands. Enter the
commands at the TKR config> prompt. Table 28 lists Token-Ring configuration
commands.
Table 28. Token-Ring Configuration Command Summary

options for specific commands (if available). See “Getting Help” on page
10.
List Displays the selected Token-Ring interface configuration.
LLC Accesses the LLC configuration environment and subcommands.
Packet-size Changes packet-size defaults for all Token-Ring networks.
Set Sets the aging timer for the RIF cache and the physical (MAC) address.
Source-routing Enables or disables source-routing on the interface.
Speed Sets the interface speed in Mbps.
Exit Returns you to the previous command level. See “Exiting a Lower Level
Environment” on page 11.
