Configuring IP addresses
The switches implement separate data and control planes. This architecture affects
how you assign IP addresses. Table 7 outlines the interfaces to which you can
assign IP addresses.
In this table, "in band" refers to an interface over which user packets are routed,
while "out of band" refers to an interface over which control packets related to
system management are forwarded.

Support of sub-net masks
The c-series supports both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C sub-net
masks, and so on) and Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) network prefix
masks.
v To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For
