Some types of interfaces require an identifier as a parameter. Other types of

interfaces require the interface’s module and port number as a parameter.

For example:

interface vlan 1

For more information on the various types of interfaces, see Router interface

concepts on page 423.

2. Use the ip address command, followed by an IP address and subnet mask, to

assign an IP address to the interface.

3. Use the load-interval command to set the load calculation interval for the

interface.

For a list and descriptions of other interface configuration commands, see Interface

configuration on page 422. For interface configuration examples, see Configuration

example on page 266.

Primary Management Interface (PMI) configuration

The Primary Management Interface (PMI) address is the IP address of an interface that you

can specify on the Branch Gateway. The first IP address you configure on the Branch Gateway

automatically becomes the PMI. You can subsequently assign any IP interface to be the

PMI.

The PMI is used as the IP address of the Branch Gateway for the following management

functions:

• Registration of the Branch Gateway to an MGC

• Sending SNMP traps

• Opening telnet sessions from the Branch Gateway

• Sending messages from the Branch Gateway using FTP and TFTP protocol

You can designate any of the Branch Gateway’s interfaces to serve as the Branch Gateway’s

PMI. The PMI must be an IP address that the MGC recognizes. If you are not sure which

interface to use as the PMI, check with your system administrator.
