Chapter 4. Initial configuration: IBM System Networking 10Gb Ethernet switches 135
For the specified IP interface, enter the IP address in IPv4 dotted decimal notation
(Example 4-17).
Example 4-17 IP address configuration
Current IP address: 172.25.101.120
Enter new IP address:
To keep the current setting, press Enter.
At the prompt, enter the IPv4 subnet mask in dotted decimal notation (Example 4-18).
Example 4-18 Subnet mask configuration
Current subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Enter new subnet mask:
To keep the current setting, press Enter. In our case, we used the 255.255.0.0 subnet.
If configuring VLANs, specify a VLAN for the interface (this prompt appears if you chose to
configure VLANs) (Example 4-19).
Example 4-19 Specify VLAN
Current VLAN: 1
Enter new VLAN [1-4094]:
Enter the number for the VLAN to which the interface belongs, or press <Enter> without
specifying a VLAN number to accept the current setting.
At the prompt, enter y to enable the IP interface, or n to leave it disabled (Example 4-20).
Example 4-20 Enable IP interface
Enable IP interface? [y/n]
The system prompts you to configure another interface (Example 4-21).
Example 4-21 Next interface configuration
Enter interface number: (1-128)
Repeat the steps in this section until all IP interfaces are configured. When all the interfaces
are configured, press Enter without specifying any interface number.
Default gateway
At the prompt, select an IP default gateway for configuration, or skip default gateway
configuration (Example 4-22).
Example 4-22 Default gateway
IP default gateways:
Enter default gateway number: (1-4)
Enter the number for the IP default gateway to be configured. In our lab setup, the gateway is
172.25.1.1. To skip default gateway configuration, press <Enter> without typing a gateway
number.
