Configuring an IP address for the device
You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the device using the other
management interfaces. You can use the classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) or Classless Interdomain
Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.
•
To enter a classical IP network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter "10.157.22.99 255.255.255.0" for
an IP address with a Class C subnet mask.
•
To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash (/) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the IP
address. For example, enter "10.157.22.99/24" for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant ("mask") bits.
1.
At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following commands.
device> enable
device# erase startup-config
device# configure terminal
NOTE
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 erase the configuration on a configured system,
enter the write memory command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.
2.
Enter the following commands to assign an IP address for a device running Layer 2 software.
device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
device(config)# ip default-gateway 10.22.3.1
device(config)# write memory
NOTE
You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.
Enter the following commands to add an IP address and mask to a router port on a device running Layer 3 software.
device(config)# interface ethernet 1
device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
device(config)# write memory
NOTE
Before attaching any equipment to a device running Layer 3 software, you must assign an interface IP address to the
subnet on which the device will be located. You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For
subsequent addresses, you can use the CLI through Telnet.
3.
Assign an interface IP address to the out-of-band management Ethernet port.
device(config)# interface management 1
device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.45 255.255.255.0
device(config)# write memory
The management port number is always 1.
Customizing the host name and chassis name
Changing the host name, contact, and location is important for distinguishing and identifying the device uniquely and for accurate tracking
of logs and errors. The messages that appear in the log are labeled with the chassis name, which makes tracking the errors much easier.
Specify an easily understandable and meaningful host name and chassis name.
