Conguring a static IP address
Complete the following steps to set a static IP address.
NOTE
You can also use DHCP to congure a chassis static IP address on the management
module.
1. Log in to the device using an account that has the admin role.
2. Enter global conguration mode using the congure terminal command.
3. Use the chassis virtual-ip command to set the IP address for the chassis.
device(config)# chassis virtual-ip 10.20.236.132/20
4. Use the ip address command to set the Ethernet IP address for the management modules.
If you are going to use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation.
When you have assigned the IP address to management interface 1, you should also assign the IP address to management
interface 2 if you have installed a second management module.
device(config)# interface Management 1
device(config-Management-1)# no ip address dhcp
device(config-Management-1)# ip address 10.24.85.81/20
If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in colon-separated notation as prompted after the ipv6
address operand.
device(config)# interface Management 1
device(config-Management-1)# no ip address dhcp
device(config-Management-1)# ipv6 address \
fd00:60:69bc:832:e61f:13ff:fe67:4b94/64
5. Return to privileged EXEC mode by entering exit .
device(config)# exit
device#
6. To display the
conguration, use the show running-cong interface Management command.
device# show running-config interface Management 1
interface Management 1
no ip address dhcp
ip address 10.24.85.81/20
ipv6 address fd00:60:69bc:832:e61f:13ff:fe67:4b94/64

Conguring IPv6 address
Following are the basic prerequisites for conguring IPv6 address on SLX platform:
SLX chassis with management modules.
PC with reachability to the serial port of the active management module (MM).
IPv6 network assignment with a netmask and router address from the network administrators. This will generally be a /64
network.
