enter, "209.157.22.99/24" for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 leading 1s in the
network mask, representing 255.255.255.0.

8. Apart from the two IP addresses on the management modules, modular switches also supports a
chassis virtual IP address. Using this virtual IP address, you can login to the switch. The VCS virtual
IP address binds to the active MM automatically.
switch(config)# rbridge-id 1
switch(config-rbridge-id-1)# chassis virtual-ip 10.24.85.90/20
NOTE
In DHCP mode, the chassis IP address is obtained by means of DHCP.
Configuring a static IPv6 Ethernet address
1. In privileged EXEC mode, enter the configure terminal command to enter global configuration
mode.
2. Enter the interface management rbridge-id/port command.
This command enters a management interface configuration mode where you can choose
configuration parameters for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
• A compact switch has a single management port, and the port number for the management port
is always 0.
• On a modular switches with two redundant management modules, you can configure two
management ports. The port numbers are 1 and 2.
3. Enter the ipv6 address IPv6_addresss/prefix_length command.
switch# configure terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal
switch(config)# interface management 1/0
switch(config-Management-1/0)# ipv6 address fd00:60:69bc:832:e61f:
13ff:fe67:4b94/64
4. Apart from the two IP addresses on the management modules, modular switches also support a
chassis virtual IP address. Using this virtual IP address, you can log in to the switch. The VCS
virtual IP address binds to the active MM automatically.
switch(config)# rbridge-id 1
switch(config-rbridge-id-1)# chassis virtual-ipv6 2001:db8:8086:6502/64
Configuring an IPv4 address with DHCP
NOTE
DHCP is not supported for IPv6 addresses.
By default, DHCP is disabled. You must explicitly enable the service. Use the ip address dhcp
command to enable DHCP for IPv4 addresses, and the ipv6 address dhcp command to enable
DHCP for IPv6 addresses. The Network OS DHCP clients support the following parameters:
• External Ethernet port IP addresses and prefix length
• Default gateway IP address
