This procedure tells how to assign an IP address to a previously-created interface.
Not all interfaces are configured with IP address information.
The following physical interfaces should not be configured with IP address information and will result in system problems if they are so configured:
- GSMP interfaces (these are the ATM
interfaces involved in the link between the IP Switch Processor ATM port and the first port on the ATM switch
- IFMP-C interfaces (these are the ATM interfaces involved in the link between the ATM switch and the card's ATM port)
1. Click on the home page.
2. Click the Interfaces link.
3. Click the physical interface link you want to change in the Interface column (examples: eth-s2p1c0, atm-s2p1c0, ser-s2p1c0)
4. Enter an IP address in the New IP Address edit box.
5. Enter the length of the subnet mask in the New Subnet Mask field.
6. Click .
When you enter the first IP Address and mask length, then click , the configured IP address and mask length display, and the New IP Address and New
Subnet Mask fields remain blank to allow the addition of secondary addresses.
Secondary addresses are not supported on ATM and serial interfaces.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 for to assign IP addresses to other interfaces.
8. Click .
If you want to make the changes permanent, click on the configuration
