4 Configuring IP addresses NetIron# configure terminal NetIron(config)# Syntax: configure terminal 3. Enter the enable super-user-password command to set the super-user password.

NetIron(config)# enable port-config-password mustang NetIron(config)# enable read-only-password mustang NOTE If you forget your super-user password, see the Multi-Service IronWare Software Release 5.1.0 Notes. Syntax: enable | super-user-password | read-only-password | port-config-password The text for the read-only--password and the port-config password should be different from the text for the super-user password. Passwords can be up to 48 characters long. Configuring IP addresses Dell routers implement separate data and control planes. This architecture affects how you assign IP addresses. Table 17 outlines the interfaces to which you can assign IP addresses. In this table, "In band" refers to an interface over which user packets are routed, while "Out of band" refers to an interface over which control packets related to system management are forwarded. TABLE 17 Interface Interfaces that can be given IP addresses Associated physical port Out of band or In band Management interface Ethernet 10/100/1000 port on active or redundant management module Any interface over which user Any interface module port packets are routed Any virtual interface over which Any interface port user packets are routed Loopback interface - Out of band In band In band In band Support of subnet masks Dell routers support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks. • Enter a classical network mask in IP address format. For example, enter "209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0" for an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask. 92 PowerConnect B-MLXe Hardware Installation Guide 53-1002111-01
