Configuring IPv4
Note If you are familiar with the Cisco IOS CLI, be aware that the Cisco NX-OS commands for this feature
might differ from the Cisco IOS commands that you would use.
Configuring IPv4 Addressing
You can assign a primary IP address for a network interface.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switchto vdc command).
SUMMARY STEPS
1. config t
2. interface ethernet number
3. ip address ip-address/length
4. show ip interface
5. copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
Command Purpose
Step 1
config t
Example:
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
interface ethernet number
Example:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/3
switch(config-if)#
Enters interface configuration mode.
Step 3
ip address ip-address/length
[secondary]
Example:
switch(config-if)# ip address 192.2.1.1
255.0.0.0
Specifies a primary or secondary IPv4 address for an
interface.
• The network mask can be a four-part dotted
decimal address. For example, 255.0.0.0 indicates
that each bit equal to 1 means the corresponding
address bit belongs to the network address.
• The network mask can be indicated as a slash (/)
and a number - a prefix length. The prefix length
is a decimal value that indicates how many of the
high-order contiguous bits of the address
comprise the prefix (the network portion of the
address). A slash must precede the decimal value
and there is no space between the IP address and
the slash.
