(config network interface my_lan)> device
b. Set the device for the LAN:
(config network interface my_lan)> device device
(config network interface my_lan)>
6. Configure IPv4 settings:
n
IPv4 support is enabled by default. To disable:
(config network interface my_lan)> ipv4 enable false
(config network interface my_lan)>
n
The LAN is configured by default to use a static IPaddressfor its IPv4 configuration. To
configure the LAN to be a DHCPclient, rather than using a static IPaddres:
(config network interface my_lan)> ipv4 type dhcp
(config network interface my_lan)>
These instructionsassume that the LAN will use a static IPaddressfor its IPv4
configuration.
a. Set the IPv4 addressand subnet of the LAN interface. Use the format IPv4_
address/netmask, for example, 192.168.2.1/24.
(config network interface my_lan)> ipv4 address ip_address/netmask
(config network interface my_lan)>
b. Optional IPv4 configuration items:
i. Set the IPmetric:
(config network interface my_lan)> ipv4 metric num
(config network interface my_lan)>
ii. Set the relative weight for default routesassociated with this interface. For multiple
activeinterfaceswith the same metric, the weight is used to load balance traffic to
the interfaces.
(config network interface my_lan)> ipv4 weight num
(config network interface my_lan)>
iii. Set the management priority. This determines which interface will have priority for
central management activity. The interface with the highest number will be used.
(config network interface my_lan)> ipv4 mgmt num
(config network interface my_lan)>
iv. Set the MTU:
(config network interface my_lan)> ipv4 mtu num
(config network interface my_lan)>
