How to Edit a Port on Cisco 6509 Switch?

[valley_girl1919]

I am very new to configuring ports on a switch. My boss usually does the port configurations but I am starting to learn some of the basic commands. The commands I know how to do are; close a port by typing config t, int gi0/port# and typing shut. I know how to enable a port, but how can I add info to a port or copy settings from one port to another? We have some ports that are configured for 192.168 adresses but most are 10.128 addresses. I need to configure a certain port to be able to receive 192.168 addresses.

My boss is out of town and thought maybe someone could help me on here.

Hi Valarie, it depends if it is running CatOS or not.

If it is an IOS switch (Not CatOS) then it is like any other IOS product.

To copy a configuration to one port from another, one of the easiest ways is to literally copy a port configuration and paste it under the port you desire.

To add an IP address to a layer 3 switch would be something like

config t

int fa0/1

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

copy settings from one port to another?

Use static MACRO.  Faster and more accurate than copy-n-paste.
