Creating an Interface
Use the following example to create a new interface in a context:
configure
context name
interface name
{ ip | ipv6 } address address subnetmask [ secondary ]
end
Notes:
•
Optional: Add the loopback keyword option to the interface name command, to set the interface type
as "loopback" which is always UP and not bound to any physical port.
•
Optional: Add the secondary keyword to the { ip | ipv6 } address command, to assign multiple IP
addresses to the interface. IP addresses can be entered using IPv4 dotted-decimal or IPv6
colon-separated-hexadecimal notation.
•
Optional: In the interface config mode, add the port-switch-on-L3-fail address command, to configure
the interface for switchover to the port on the redundant line card if connectivity to a specified IP address
is lost. This IP address can be entered using IPv4 dotted-decimal or IPv6 colon-separated-hexadecimal
notation.
Configuring a Port and Binding It to an Interface
Use the following example configuration to configure and assign a port to an interface:
configure
port ethernet slot#/port#
description description
no shutdown
bind interface interface_name context_name
end
Notes:
•
For port ethernet slot#, use the actual chassis slot in which the MIO/UMIO/MIO2 card is installed;
this could be 5 or 6.
•
For port ethernet port#, use ports 10 to 19 (DC1) or 20 to 29 (DC2).
•
Optional: In the Ethernet Port configuration mode, add the preferred slot slot# command if you want
to specify a port preference.
•
Binding associates the port and all of its settings to the named interface.
Configuring a Static Route for an Interface
Use the following example to configure a static route for an interface:
configure
context name
