Configuring IP addresses
The following procedure shows how to add an IP address and mask to a router port.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
device> enable
2. Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, and then press Enter. This command erases the factory
test configuration if still present:
device# erase startup-config
CAUTION
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you have
already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the configuration on a
configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.
3. Access the global configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:
device# configure terminal
device(config)#
4. Configure the IP addresses and mask addresses for the interfaces on the router.
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/2
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/2)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
NOTE
You can use the command ip address ip-addr/mask-bits if you know the subnet mask length. In the previous
example, you could enter ip address 10.22.3.44/24.
Syntax: [no] ip address [ ip-addr ip-mask [ secondary ] | ip-addr/mask-bits [ secondary ] ]
Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same subnet on the interface.
Configuring IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software
This section describes how to configure IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software.
Configuring IP addresses
You can configure an IP address on the following types of Layer 3 switch interfaces:
• Ethernet port
• Virtual routing interface (also called a Virtual Ethernet or "VE")
• Loopback interface
By default, you can have up to 24 IP addresses on each interface, but you can increase this number to 128 IP addresses.
NOTE
Once you configure a virtual routing interface on a VLAN, you cannot configure Layer 3 interface parameters on individual ports
in the VLAN. Instead, you must configure the parameters on the virtual routing interface itself.
