Configuring the Cajun M770 ATM Switch Address Information
Setting the Cajun M770 ATM Switch IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
An M770 ATM Switch will need an IP address so that it can be managed remotely.
You must decide whether the M770 ATM Switch will use BOOTP to acquire its IP
address or whether the address must be set manually.
If you plan to use BOOTP, make sure the BOOTP server is on the same ELAN as the
M770 ATM Switch management LEC, or there is a route from the BOOTP server to
the ELAN. You will need to set the IP address of the M770 ATM Switch to BOOTP
(this is the default IP setting for a new M770 ATM Switch). The M770 ATM Switch
will then attempt to learn its IP address using the BOOTP protocol.
Note:
IP address configuration commands will take effect immediately and may
disrupt IP traffic (for example, Telnet or SNMP) going to the M770 ATM Switch.
To set the M770 ATM Switch’s IP address and subnet mask, enter the
ip address
command:
To enable remote access to the M770 ATM Switch from a different IP subnet, you
must identify the IP address of a default gateway. The gateway must be on the same
IP subnet as the M770 ATM Switch.
Command:
M15-155s8:/>ip address <ip_address> [<netmask>]
Example:
M15-155s8:/>ip address 192.32.220.61 255.255.255.0
Parameters:
<ip_address>
A unique IP address that is to be assigned
to the M770 ATM Switch.
If you set the address to BOOTP, the M770
ATM Switch will attempt to learn its IP
address using the BOOTP protocol.
<netmask>
A valid IP subnet mask.
0.0.0.0 indicates that the default subnet
mask should be determined from the IP
address.
If a value is not supplied for the netmask,
the default value of 255.255.00.00 will be
used.
