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.
IPv4 Devices Running Layer 2 Software
To configure an IPv4 address to a device running Layer 2 software:
1.
At the opening CLI prompt, enter
enable
.
FastIron
> enable
2.
Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example,
FastIron#
), then press
Enter
. This command erases the factory test configuration if still present:
FastIron# erase startup-config
CAUTION:
Use the
erase startup-config
command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a
system you have 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.
3.
Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:
Privileged EXEC Level:
FastIron# configure terminal
Global CONFIG Level:
FastIron(config)
#
4.
Configure the IPv4 address and mask for the switch.
FastIron(config)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
5.
Set a default gateway address for the switch.
FastIron(config)# ip default-gateway 192.22.3.1
NOTE:
You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.
Syntax:
enable [<password>]
Syntax:
configure terminal
Syntax:
[no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>
or
Syntax:
[no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits>
Syntax:
ip default-gateway <ip-addr>
IPv6 Devices
Foundry IPv6 devices support the 128-bit addressing format, composed of 8 fields of 16-bit hexadecimal values
separated by colons (:). For example, 2001:0000:0000:0200:002D:D0FF:FE48:4672 is an IPv6 address, which
can also be expressed as 2001:0:0:200:2D:D0FF:FE48:4672 after ommitting the leading zeros.
