Advanced Configuration and Modification of the Management Ethernet Interface
Purpose
• Replace ip-address with the primary IPv4 address for
the 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, 255.0.0.0 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, /8 indicates that the
first 8 bits of the mask are ones, and the
corresponding bits of the address are network
address.
(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.
Removes the shutdown configuration, which removes the
forced administrative down on the interface, enabling it to
move to an up or down state.
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 XR EXEC mode.
• Entering no exits the configuration session and
returns the router to XR 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.
