address
Syntax address {ip-address/mask | ip-address netmask} [broadcast {all-ones | host-ones}]
no address
Context config>service>ies>interface
Description This command assigns an IP address and IP subnet to an IES IP interface. Only one IP address can be
associated with an IP interface.
An IP address must be assigned to each IES IP interface. An IP address and a mask combine to create
a local IP prefix. The defined IP prefix must be unique within the context of the routing instance. The
IP prefix cannot overlap with other existing IP prefixes defined as local subnets on other IP interfaces
in the same routing context within the 7705 SAR.
The IP address for the interface can be entered in either CIDR (classless inter-domain routing)
notation or traditional dotted-decimal notation. Show commands display CIDR notation and are
stored in configuration files.
By default, no IP address or subnet association exists on an IP interface until it is explicitly created.
The no form of the command removes the IP address assignment from the IP interface. The no form
of this command can only be performed when the IP interface is administratively shut down. Shutting
down the IP interface brings the interface operationally down.
Default no address
Parameters ip-address — the IP address of the IP interface. The ip-address portion of the address command
/ — the forward slash is a parameter delimiter that separates the ip-address portion of the IP address
mask — the subnet mask length when the IP prefix is specified in CIDR notation. When the IP prefix
netmask — the subnet mask in dotted-decimal notation
broadcast — overrides the default broadcast address used by the IP interface when sourcing IP

specifies the IP host address that will be used by the IP interface within the subnet. This address
must be unique within the subnet and specified in dotted-decimal notation.
Values 1.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
from the mask that defines the scope of the local subnet. No spaces are allowed between the
ip-address, the "/", and the mask parameter. If a forward slash does not immediately follow the
ip-address, a dotted-decimal mask must follow the prefix.
is specified in CIDR notation, a forward slash (/) separates the ip-address from the mask
parameter. The mask parameter indicates the number of bits used for the network portion of the
IP address; the remainder of the IP address is used to determine the host portion of the IP address.
Values
1 to 32 (mask length of 32 is reserved for system IP addresses)
Values
0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 (network bits all 1 and host bits all 0)
broadcasts on the IP interface. If no broadcast format is specified for the IP address, the default
value is host-ones, which indictates a subnet broadcast address. Use this parameter to change the
broadcast address to all-ones or revert back to the default broadcast address of host-ones.
