Assigning an IP address to a management interface
Instead of assigning a global IP address to the router for system management purposes, you must

For example, to assign the IP address 10.0.1.1 to the management module, use these steps.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
2. Enter the erase startup-config command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example,

running configuration to the startup-config file.
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the configure terminal command.
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the management interface by entering these

IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant ("mask") bits.
