Interface And Hardware Component Configuration Guide For Cisco Ncs 5500 Series Routers, Ios Xr Release - Cisco NCS 5500 Series Configuration Manual

Advanced Configuration and Modification of the Management Ethernet Interface
• Replace mask with the mask for the associated IP subnet. The network mask can be specified in either of two ways:
• The network mask can be a four-part dotted decimal address. For example, 255.255.0.0 indicates that each bit equal
to 1 means that the corresponding address bit belongs to the network address.
• The network mask can be indicated as a slash (/) and number. For example, /16 indicates that the first 16 bits of
the mask are ones, and the corresponding bits of the address are network address.
Step 4 mtu bytes
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if# mtu 1488
(Optional) Sets the maximum transmission unit (MTU) byte value for the interface. The default is 1514.
• The default is 1514 bytes.
• The range for the Management Ethernet interface Interface mtu values is 64 to 1514 bytes.
Step 5 no shutdown
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# no shutdown
Removes the shutdown configuration, which removes the forced administrative down on the interface, enabling it to
move to an up or down state.
Step 6 end or commit
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# end
or
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# commit
Saves configuration changes.
• When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)?
[cancel]:
• Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and
returns the router to EXEC mode.
• Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration
changes.
• Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration
changes.
• Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within
the configuration session.
