Description
The
interface create ip
command creates and configures an IP interface.
Configuration of an IP interface can include information such as the interface’s name,
IP address, netmask, broadcast address, and so on. You can also create an interface in
a disabled (down) state instead of the default enabled (up) state.
The SSR is pre-allocated a pool of 64 MAC addresses. By default, each new IP
interface is automatically configured with the lowest MAC address in the pool (the
“base” MAC address). However, you can assign an interface a different MAC address
by using the
mac-addr
option.
Interfaces on the SSR are logical interfaces. Therefore, you can associate an interface
with a single port or with multiple ports.
• To associate an interface with a single port, use the
port
option with the
interface create
command.
• To associate an interface with multiple ports, first create an IP VLAN and add ports
to it, then use the vlan option with the
interface create
command.
Note:
You must use either the
port
option or the
vlan
option with the
inter-
face
create
command.
Parameters
<InterfaceName>
Name of the IP interface; for example, ssr4.
address-netmask
IP address and netmask of this interface. You can specify
the address and mask information using the traditional for-
