Configuring IP addresses 4 • To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash (/) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the IP address. For example, enter "209.157.22.99/24" for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant ("mask") bits. Assigning an IP address to a management interface Instead of assigning a global IP address to the router for system management purposes, you must assign an IP address to the active management module. If the active management module becomes unavailable and the redundant module becomes the active module, the IP address is automatically assigned to the new active management module. For example, to assign the IP address 10.0.1.1 to the management module, use these steps. 1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable. NetIron> enable 2. Enter the erase startup-config command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, NetIron#), then press Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if it is still present. NetIron# erase startup-config Syntax: erase startup-config After you enter this command, you will need to perform a reload on the system. CAUTION Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file. 3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the configure terminal command. NetIron# configure terminal NetIron(config)# 4. Configure the IP address and mask for the management interface by entering these commands. NetIron(config)# interface management 1 NetIron(config-if-mgmt-1)# ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0 Syntax: enable [] Syntax: configure terminal Syntax: interface management Syntax: [no] ip address or Syntax: [no] ip address / PowerConnect B-MLXe Hardware Installation Guide 93 53-1002111-01
