2. Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the following command:
3. Enter the following command to set the super-user password:
4. Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only
FastIron(config)# enable port-config-password <text>

Passwords can be up to 32 characters long.
Configuring IP addresses
You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI
before you can manage the system using the other management interfaces. In
addition, IBM Ethernet routers require an IP subnet address for the subnet in which
you plan to place them in your network.
IPv4 devices
IPv4 devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet
masks, and so on) and Classless Inter-domain Routing (CIDR) network prefix
masks.
v To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For
v To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the
By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (example:
255.255.255.0). You can change the display to the prefix format. See the
Configuration Guide For more information.
IPv4 devices running layer 3 software
Before attaching equipment to a router, you must assign an interface IP address to
the subnet on which the router will be located. You must use the serial connection
to assign the first IP address. for subsequent addresses, you also can use the CLI
through Telnet or the Web management interface.
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP interfaces on each port, virtual interface,
and loopback interface. You can increase this amount to up to 64 IP subnet
addresses per port by increasing the size of the subnet-per-interface table. See the
Configuration Guide For more information.
