2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press
Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if still present:
NetIron# 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 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:
NetIron# configure terminal Privileged EXEC Level
NetIron(config)# Global CONFIG Level
4. Configure the IP address and sub-net mask for Ethernet interface 1/1 by
entering the following commands:
NetIron(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
NetIron(config-if-e10000-1/1)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
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 sub-net on the interface.
Enabling and disabling the interfaces
By default, all interfaces on the c-series switches are disabled. To enable an
interface, you must enter the
enable command at the appropriate interface
configuration level of the CLI. For example, to enable the management interface,
enter the
enable command at the management interface configuration level of the
CLI:
NetIron(config-if-mgmt-1)# enable
Syntax:
enable
You can disable each of these interfaces using the disable command at the
appropriate interface configuration level of the CLI. For example, to disable the
management port, enter the
disable command at the management interface
configuration level of the CLI:
NetIron(config-if-mgmt-1)# disable
Syntax: disable
Note: For security reasons, by default, the telnet server is disabled on the switch.
To enable the telnet server and allow access via telnet to the switch from an
external host, execute the following:
NetIron(config)# telnet server
