If you physically change the configuration of your system after defining IP interfaces, the ports designated for those interfaces might no longer be valid. You should reconfigure your interfaces.

Modifying an Interface

To modify an IP interface that you have already defined:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

ip interface modify

You are prompted for the interface parameters. Press [Return] at the prompts for which you do not want to modify the value in parentheses.

2Modify the existing interface parameters by entering a new value at the prompt.
