Setting IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway
When you select
Set IP Address and Subnet Mask
from the Boot Configuration
menu, the CSS prompts you to:
1.
Enter an IP address for the Ethernet management port.
An IP address of 0.0.0.0 for the Ethernet management port is a legal setting
and disables the management port upon reboot. If you enter 0.0.0.0, and you
attempt to use the
subnet mask
command, the following message appears:
The mask cannot be set because the IP address is 0.0.0.0
.
To enable the Ethernet management port, use the Boot Configuration menu to
enter an IP address for the management port.
The Ethernet management port IP address must be a different subnet from any
other CSS VLAN circuit IP subnet. If you do not make the Ethernet
management port IP address unique, you cannot access the port.
The first time that you configure an IP address for the Ethernet management
port, the CSS automatically assigns a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
If necessary, you can overwrite the default subnet mask with a mask that is
more appropriate for your application.
Enter IP Address or 0.0.0.0 to disable [<current value>]:
10.3.6.58
2.
Enter a subnet mask.
Enter Subnet Mask:
255.0.0.0
3.
Enter a default gateway address for the Ethernet management port.
Enter Default Gateway:
172.16.11.1
