IP Management for In-Band Management

Configuring IP address for an Interface

Configuring IP address for an Interface configures the IP address which will be used for sending and receiving the packets.

1. Execute the following commands to configure an IP address for a VLAN interface. Enter the Global Configuration mode:

Your Product# configure terminal

Enter the Interface Configuration mode.

Your Product(config)# interface vlan 1

Shut down the VLAN interface.

Your Product(config-if)# shutdown

Configure the IP address and subnet mask.

Your Product(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.100 255.0.0.0

Bring up the VLAN interface.

Your Product(config-if)#no shutdown

Exit from the Interface Configuration mode.

Your Product(config)#end

Configuring the IP address for an Interface requires the interface to be shutdown prior to the configuration.

2. View the configured interface IP address by executing the following show command:

Your Product# show ip interface

Configuring an Interface to Acquire Dynamic IP

An interface can be configured to acquire the dynamic IP address either from DHCP or from RARP. The default value is DHCP.

Your Product# configure terminal

Enter the Interface Configuration mode.

Your Product(config)# interface vlan 1

Configure the VLAN interface to dynamically acquire an IP address through the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

Your Product(config-if)#ip address dhcp

Exit from configuration mode.

Your Product(config)#end
