5.2.2 Interface Parameter Commands
This table lists the commands for interface parameters (summarized in Table 10 on page 46).
[no] shutdown Deactivates the specified interface. The no
command activates it.
[no] description description Specifies the description for the specified interface.
The
no command clears the description.
description: You can use alphanumeric and
()+/:=?!*#@$_%- characters, and it can be up
to 60 characters long.
[no] ip address dhcp Makes the specified interface a DHCP client; the
DHCP server gives the specified interface its IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway. The
no
command makes the IP address static IP address
for the specified interface. (See the next command
to set this IP address.)
[no] ip address ip subnet_mask Assigns the specified IP address and subnet mask
to the specified interface. The
no command clears
the IP address and the subnet mask.
[no] ip gateway ip Adds the specified gateway using the specified
interface. The
no command removes the gateway.
ip gateway ip metric <0..15> Sets the priority (relative to every gateway on every
interface) for the specified gateway. The lower the
number, the higher the priority.

COMMAND DESCRIPTION
interface interface_name Enters sub-command mode.
[no] upstream <0..1048576> Specifies the upstream bandwidth for the specified
interface. The
no command sets the upstream
bandwidth to 1048576.
[no] downstream <0..1048576> This is reserved for future use.
