Creating An Ip Interface - Foundry Networks NetIron M2404C User Manual

Foundry NetIron M2404C and M2404F Metro Access Switches
NOTE
Command Syntax
device-name#show ip
Example
device-name#show ip
IP-ADDR : 100.1.2.3 NET-MASK : 255.255.0.0
Assigning Switch Outband IP Address
The OutBand IP interface belongs to the Out-of-Band port. This port is destined for debugging
and management and cannot be used to pass data.
The outband discovery is performed by gathering device and topology information directly from
switches and other devices using SNMP MIB queries.
NOTE It is possible to manage the switch either from In-band or Outband interface to
perform Telnet, SNMP, etc.

Creating an IP Interface

The interface command, in Global Configuration mode, accesses the configuration mode of a
specific IP interface and creates an IP interface. The no form of this command removes the IP
interface.
The device passes to IP Interface Configuration mode, indicated by the change in the prompt-line
to device-name(config-if IFNAME)#.
The interface command can also be entered in IP Interface Configuration mode, for selecting
another IP interface to configure.
Command Syntax
device-name(config)#interface
device-name
device-name(config)#no interface {swN | loN}
Argument Description
swN
outBand0
loN
Example
device-name(config)#interface sw3
Setup
For the Layer 3 switches, the command displays the IP address to the sw0 IP
interface
.
