Setting the IP Address and Subnet Mask of the Management Interface

Options, page 5-4
•
Setting the IP Address and Subnet Mask of the Management Interface: Example, page 5-4
The user must define the IP address of the management interface.
When both management ports are connected, providing a redundant management port, this IP address
always acts as a virtual IP address for the currently active management port, regardless of which port is
the active port.
Options
The following options are available:
•
IP address
— The IP address of the management interface.
If both management ports are connected, so that a backup management link is available, this IP
address will be act as a virtual IP address for the currently active management port, regardless of
which physical port is currently active.
•
subnet mask
— subnet mask of the management interface.
Step 1
From the SCE(config if)# prompt, type
ip address
ip-address subnet-mask
and press
Enter
.
The command might fail if there is a routing table entry that is not part of the new subnet defined by the
new IP address and subnet mask.
Note
Changing the IP address of the management interface via telnet will result in loss of the telnet connection
and inability to reconnect with the interface.
Note
After changing the IP address, you must reload the SCE platform so that the change will take effect
properly in all internal and external components of the SCE platform. (See
Rebooting and Shutting
Down the SCE Platform, page 3-15
.)
Setting the IP Address and Subnet Mask of the Management Interface: Example
The following example shows how to set the IP address of the SCE platform to 10.1.1.1 and the subnet
mask to 255.255.0.0.
SCE(config if)#ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.0.0
