You might want to change the configuration of an interface you have already defined.

You can add one or more advertisement addresses or PVCs to an interface through the addAdvertisement and addPVC commands as well as through the IP interface modify command. If you add or change an advertisement address or PVC through the modify command, you must re-enter all addresses or PVCs associated with the interface, not just the one you want to add or change.

To modify an IP interface:

From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

ip interface modify

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

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

You might want to remove an interface if you no longer route on the ports associated with the interface.

To remove an IP interface definition:

From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

ip interface remove

Enter the index numbers of the interfaces you want to remove.

If you have defined one or more PVCs on the interface, the Administration Console displays a message indicating that the PVCs will be removed with the interface. The following is an example of a prompt for interface 2, which has one PVC associated with it:

1 PVC associated with the interface index 2. Do you wish

to continue (yes/no) [yes]:

Accept the default (yes) if you want to delete the interface.
