Assigning an IP address to a management interface
Instead of assigning a global IP address to the switches for system management
purposes, you now assign an IP address to the management interface. The IP
address is assigned to the active management module port.
For example, to assign the IP address 10.0.1.1 to the management interface, do the
following:
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable:
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example,
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the management interface by entering
Syntax: enable [<password>]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: interface management 1
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>
or
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits>
Assigning an IP address to an interface, virtual interface, or loopback
You must assign an IP address to each interface and virtual interface over which
user packets are routed. You can also assign an IP address to a loopback interface,
which is generally used for testing and diagnostic purposes.
You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For subsequent
addresses, you also can use the CLI through Telnet or the Web management
interface.
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP interfaces on each interface, virtual
interface, and loopback interface.
For example, to assign the IP address 192.22.3.44 and sub-net mask
255.255.255.0 to Ethernet interface 1/1, do the following.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
NetIron> enable
NetIron#), then press Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration
if still present:
NetIron# erase startup-config
Attention:
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.
NetIron# configure terminal
NetIron(config)#
the following commands:
NetIron(config)# interface management 1
NetIron(config-if-mgmt-1)# ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0
