Setting Basic System Information
5.
Use the interface add ip command to set the IP address and netmask for the en0 Ethernet
interface, as shown in the following example:
Note:
The en0 interface is automatically created by the system and is reserved for the
XP-2000’s management port.
6.
To show the changes accumulated in the scratchpad, enter the show command while in
Configure mode, as shown in the following example:
When you enter commands in Configure mode, the XP-2000 does not immediately execute the
commands. Instead, the XP-2000 checks the syntax of the commands and if they are
syntactically correct, stores them in a temporary scratchpad in memory. The scratchpad is
automatically cleared when you log out of the XP, 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 can simply choose
not to activate them. As you become more familiar with the XP-2000 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.
7.
Enter the save active command to activate commands, such as the “system set...” commands
you used in
Step 4
, in the scratchpad.
If you exit Configure mode (by entering the exit command or pressing Ctrl+Z) before activating
any of your changes in the scratchpad, the CLI will ask you whether you want to make the
changes in the scratchpad active by displaying the following message:
8.
Enter yes or y to activate the changes.
xp(config)# interface add ip en0 address-netmask 10.50.11.22/16
xp(config)# show
-EDIT-I-NOCONFIG, the running system has no configuration
******** Non-committed changes in Scratchpad ********
1*: system set name “xp-1”
2*: system set location “Sunnyvale, CA”
3*: system set contact “John Smith”
Do you want to make the changes Active [yes]?
