Command
Purpose
Step 1
node
(cfg)#port ethernet
slot port
Enters Ethernet port configuration mode for the
interface on
slot
and
port
Step 2
node
(prt-

slot
/
port
]#encapsulation ip
Configures the encapsulation type to IP
Example: Configuring Ethernet Encapsulation Type for an Ethernet Port
The following example shows how to configure the encapsulation type to IP for the Ethernet port on
slot 0 and port 0 of a SmartNode 1000 or 2000 series device.
SN(cfg)#
port ethernet 0 0
SN(prt-eth)[0/0]#
encapsulation ip
14.6 Binding An Ethernet Port to an IP Interface
You must bind the Ethernet port to an existing IP interface. At the time of executing the
bind
command, the requested interface must exist. If no IP context is given, the system attaches the
interface to the default IP context known as
router
.
Figure 14-1 below shows the logical binding of the Ethernet port at slot
0
on port
0
to the IP interface
lan
which is defined in the IP context router.
