Introduction

This document describes how to configure required IP parameters.

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

This document is not restricted to specific software and hardware versions.

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Conventions

Refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.

Configure

In this section, you are presented with the information to configure the features described in this document.

Note: Use the Command Lookup Tool ( registered customers only) to obtain more information on the commands used in this section.

These parameters set the basic address characteristics of the interface. They provide enough information for another IP node to find the interface (such as a telnet client), but not enough information for routing to take place.

• IP address

• IP subnet mask

• IP broadcast address

Conventions used in the examples:

• Items enclosed in square brackets [ ] are user specific. Enter the appropriate value for your setup minus the brackets.

• All IP addresses in this example are for demonstrational purposes only and have been borrowed from the private address space reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

Note: Your ISP has provided you with the following information:

• Customer Network Address: 192.168.200.0

• Customer Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

The ISP has assigned you a complete Class C network with 254 node addresses to your Local Area Network (LAN). We have chosen to use the first address (192.168.200.1) for the device?s Ethernet IP address.

Out-of-band Configuration

You can set basic IP parameters out-of-band using the device's Console/AUX interface and a terminal or a PC with terminal emulation software.

Configure the device using these commands:

# configure ip ethernet [port ID]
# ipaddress = 192.168.200.1
# subnetmask = 255.255.255.0
# ipbroadcast = 192.168.200.255
# mode = routed
# save

Now that you have the basic parameters configured for your device, you can either continue to utilize your directly connected terminal, or disconnect the terminal and instead use CompatiView or the command line via Telnet from any host on your IP internetwork to manage the device.

In-band Configuration

You can temporarily reconfigure an IP host in order to set the device's IP parameters. The host must be on the same Ethernet segment as the device's Ethernet interface.

• Set the host’s IP address to 198.41.12.2

• Set the host’s subnet mask to 255.255.255.0

• Telnet to the default IP address of the device 198.41.12.1

• Enter the default password letmein at the password prompt

• The command line interface prompt will appear on the screen

Configure the device using these commands:

# configure ip ethernet [port ID]
# ipaddress = 192.168.200.1
# subnetmask = 255.255.255.0
# ipbroadcast = 192.168.200.255
# mode = routed
# save

Note: Don’t forget to return the host to its original configuration!

Now that you have the basic parameters configured for your device, you can manage the device via CompatiView or the command line via Telnet from any host on your IP internetwork.
