Chapter 3: Software Installation and Setup
Here is an example:
5.
Use the
interface add ip
command to set the IP address and netmask for the en0
Ethernet interface. The en0 Ethernet interface is used by the management port on the
Control Module.
Here is an example:
Note:
The en0 interface is automatically created by the system and is reserved for the
management port on the Control Module.
6.
When you enter commands in Configure mode, the SSR does not immediately
execute the commands, but instead checks the syntax of the commands. If the
commands are syntactically correct, the SSR stores them in the scratchpad, a
temporary storage area in the memory. The scratchpad is cleared when you log out of
the SSR, so you must activate the changes and then save them to the Startup
configuration file to retain the changes, as explained below.
The scratchpad allows you to make configuration changes without worrying about the
order in which you issue the commands. Also, if you change your mind about
configuration changes you are making, you do not need to incrementally back out of
the changes. You simply choose not to activate them. As you become more familiar
with the SSR and the CLI and begin to make detailed configuration changes, you may
find the scratchpad quite useful. For simple changes such as the ones in this procedure,
you might instead want to activate the changes as you go, then use CLI commands to
view the results of the changes. To show the changes accumulated in the scratchpad,
use the
show
command. (You must be in Configure mode.)
Here is an example:
7.
To activate commands in the scratchpad such as the
set
system
commands you
entered in previous steps, enter the following command:
ssr(config)#
system set name "ssr"
ssr(config)#
system set location "Houston, TX"
ssr(config)#
system set contact "John Smith"
ssr(config)#
interface add ip en0 address-netmask 16.50.11.22/16
ssr(config)#
show
-EDIT-I-NOCONFIG, the running system has no configuration
******** Non-committed changes in Scratchpad ********
1*: system set name "ssr"
2*: system set location "Houston, TX"
3*: system set contact "John Smith"
save active
