Assigning IP Addresses to an Interface
Assign primary and secondary IP addresses to physical or logical (for example, [virtual local area network
[VLAN] or port channel) interfaces to enable IP communication between the system and hosts connected
to that interface.
You can assign one primary address and up to 255 secondary IP addresses to each interface.
1. Enter the keyword interface then the type of interface and slot/port information.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface interface
• For a loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback then a number from 0 to 16383.
• For the Management interface, enter the keyword ManagementEthernet 0/0 . The slot number
is 0; the port number is 0.
• For a port channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a number.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port
information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port
information.
• For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094.
2. Enable the interface.
INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
3. Configure a primary IP address and mask on the interface.
INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address mask [secondary]
• ip-address mask: the IP address must be in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D). The mask must
be in slash prefix-length format (/24).
• secondary: add the keyword secondary if the IP address is the interface’s backup IP address.
You can configure up to eight secondary IP addresses.
