You can configure the IP address and subnet mask for only the external-management,

An error may occur if:
 The IP address you have specified is already configured for another interface.
 You are trying to assign an IP address for an interface for which IP address configuration is not
permitted. This error is caused only for the internal-management interface (the pre-configured
IP address for this interface is 10.0.0.254).
 The IP interface is enabled. Shut down the IP interface before executing this command.
