Configuring Interfaces
Interfaces are ports that enable you to connect devices to the CSS and connect the
CSS to the Internet. The commands to configure interfaces on the CSS 11501
differ slightly from the commands to configure interfaces on the CSS 11503 or
CSS 11506 because they require a slot/port designation. The CSS 11501 does not
use the slot/port designation.
