NOTE
For the Layer 3 switches, the command displays the IP address to the
sw0
IP
interface
.
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
{
swN
|
outBand0
|
loN
}
device-name
(config-if
IFNAME
)#
interface
{
swN
|
outBand0
|
loN
}
device-name
(config)#
no interface
{
swN
|
loN
}
Argument Description
swN
Number of the IP interface. The range is <0-255>.
outBand0
Enters into the OutBand IP Interface Configuration mode.
loN
Number of the loopback interface. The range is <1-9>.
Example
device-name
(config)#
