Chapter 29 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring IP Addressing
Assigning IP Addresses to Network Interfaces
An IP address identifies a location to which IP packets can be sent. An interface can have one primary
IP address. A mask identifies the bits that denote the network number in an IP address. When you use
the mask to subnet a network, the mask is referred to as a subnet mask. To receive an assigned network
number, contact your Internet service provider.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign an IP address and a network mask to
a Layer 3 interface:
IP domain Domain list: No domain names defined.
Domain lookup: Enabled.
Domain name: Enabled.
IP forward-protocol If a helper address is defined or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) flooding is configured, UDP
forwarding is enabled on default ports.
Any-local-broadcast: Disabled.
Turbo-flood: Disabled.
IP helper address Disabled.
IP host Disabled.
IRDP Disabled.
Defaults when enabled:
• Broadcast IRDP advertisements.
• Maximum interval between advertisements: 600 seconds.
• Minimum interval between advertisements: 0.75 times max interval
• Preference: 0.
IP proxy ARP Enabled.
IP routing Disabled.
IP subnet-zero Disabled.
