Configure Router Interfaces Example
The commands to configure interface G0/0/0 on R1 are shown here:

R1(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 0/0/0

R1(config-if)# description Link to LAN
R1(config-if)# ip address [Link] [Link]
R1(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:acad:10::1/64
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
R1(config-if)# exit

Verify Interface Configuration
To verify interface configuration use the show ip interface brief
and show ipv6 interface brief commands shown here:

R1# show ip interface brief

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
GigabitEthernet0/0/0 [Link] YES manual up up
GigabitEthernet0/0/1 [Link] YES manual up up
Vlan1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down

R1# show ipv6 interface brief

Configure Verification Commands

The table summarizes show commands used to verify interface configuration.

Commands Description

show ip interface brief Displays all interfaces, their IP addresses, and their
show ipv6 interface brief current status.

Configure the Default Gateway
Default Gateway on a Host
• The default gateway is used when a host sends a
packet to a device on another network.
• The default gateway address is generally the router
interface address attached to the local network of
the host.
• To reach PC3, PC1 addresses a packet with the
IPv4 address of PC3, but forwards the packet to its
default gateway, the G0/0/0 interface of R1.
• Default Gateway on a Switch
• A switch must have a default gateway address
configured to remotely manage the switch from
another network. Note: The IP address of the host
• To configure an IPv4 default gateway on a switch, and the router interface must be
use the ip default-gateway ip-address global in the same network.
