The following procedure shows how to add an IPv4 address and mask to a router port.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable .
device> enable
2. Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter . This
command erases the factory test configuration if still present.
device# erase startup-config
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 do 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 following command.
Privileged EXEC Level.
device# configure terminal
Global CONFIG Level.
device(config)#
4. Configure the IPv4 address and mask address for the interface.
device(config)# int e 1/5
device(config)# ip address 10.x.x.x 255.255.255.0
NOTE
You can use the syntaxip address ip-addr/mask-bits if you know the subnet mask length. In the
above example, you could enter ip address 10.x.x.x/24 .
Syntax: enable [password]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr ip-mask [ secondary ]
or
Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr/mask-bits [ secondary ]
Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same
subnet on the interface.
Configuring IPv4 management interface while running Layer 2 software
