Hello Farhan,

This seems to be a generic problem. If I understand your problem correctly, you have a Ethernet port that is currently shutdown.

If this is correct, go ahead as follows:

1. Login to the router using a console cable [If that is the only ethernet port then you won't be able to telnet to it :-) ]. Get to privileged mode.

2. Type at prompt the following sequence:

a) config terminal

b) interface e0

c) ip address ***.***.***.***

# This step only if you have not configured the ip address for this port

d) no shutdown

e) exit

# exit out of config mode

f) copy running-config startup-config

# This command if you do not want to repeat this procedure the next time the router is restarted :)

g) exit

Tell me if this solves your problem and if you have any other queries

Have a nice day,

Navin
