Management Ethernet Configuration
address
Syntax [no] address ip-prefix/ip-prefix-length [active | standby]
Context bof
Description
This command assigns an IP address to the management Ethernet port on the active
CPM in the running
configuration and the Boot Option File (BOF) or the standby CPM for systems using redundant CPMs.
Deleting a BOF address entry is not allowed from a Telnet session.
Note that changing the active and standby addresses without reboot standby CPM may cause a boot-env
sync to fail.
The no form of the command deletes the IP address from the CPM Ethernet port.
Default no address — There are no IP addresses assigned to Ethernet ports.
Parameters ip-prefix/ip-prefix-length — The destination address of the aggregate route in dotted decimal notation.
ipv4-prefix a.b.c.d (host bits must be 0)
ipv4-prefix-length 0 — 32
x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d
x: [0 — FFFF]H
d: [0 — 255]D
active | standby — Specifies which
CPM Ethernet address is being configured: the active CPM Ethernet
or the standby
CPM Ethernet.
Default active
autonegotiate
Syntax [no] autonegotiate [limited]
Context bof
Description This command enables speed and duplex autonegotiation on the management Ethernet port in the running
configuration and the Boot Option File (BOF).
When autonegotiation is enabled, the link attempts to automatically negotiate the link speed and duplex
parameters. If autonegotiation is enabled, then the configured duplex and speed parameters are ignored.
The no form of the command disables the autonegotiate feature on this port.
autonegotiate — Autonegotiation is enabled on the management Ethernet port.
Parameters limited — Specifies ethernet ports to be configurable to use link autonegotiation but with only a
single speed/duplex combination advertised. This allows a specific speed/duplex to be guaranteed with-
out having to turn off autonegotiation, which is not allowed for 1000BASE-T.
