Chapter 3 Physical Interfaces
This chapter contains information on defining and configuring and physical interfaces on
the MSR2000, it has the following sections:
• Interface Modes
• Configuring Fast-Ethernet Interfaces
• Configuring Dot11Radio Interfaces
Interface Modes
The MSR2000 contains physical and logical interfaces in both Layer 2 and Layer 3
modes.

Configuring Fast-ethernet Interfaces
MSR2000 has two physical fast-ethernet interfaces
1
that could connect the wireless
mesh network with a wired network or device. Both interfaces support auto-negotiation
between 10Mbps and 100Mbps as well as between half-duplex and full-duplex modes.

FAST-ETHERNET
Set IP address of fast-ethernet interface.
Set IP address to be automatically
obtained by using the DHCP protocol; a

On some MSR2000 models, only one Ethernet port (FastEthernet 0) is usable. It is recommended that the
FastEthernet1 configuration to be left at default (disabled) for these models.
