4. Configure the IPv4 address and mask address for the interface.
device(config)# int e 1/5
device(config)# ip address 10.x.x.x 255.255.255.0
NOTE
You can use the syntax ip address ip-addr/mask-bits if you know the subnet mask length. In the above example, you
could enter ip address 10.x.x.x/24 .
Syntax: enable [ password ]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr ip-mask [ secondary ]
or
Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr/mask-bits [ secondary ]
Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same subnet on the interface.

already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the configuration on a
configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.
