Initial Setup

ip <ip address> <subnet mask> [gateway]

ip address

Management port IP address, entered in dotted decimal notation.

subnet mask

IP subnet mask, entered in dotted decimal notation.

gateway

Specifies how to route traffic between the ETEP management port and the

 

management station. When the management port is on a different subnet than

 

the management station, specify the IP address of the router’s local port on

 

the same subnet as the ETEP management port (see Figure 42). If the

 

devices are on the same subnet, you do not need to enter a default gateway.

After entering the new IP address, it takes 10-20 seconds for the ETEP to set the address on the management port. During that time you cannot enter any CLI commands. When the operation is complete, the man-if>prompt is displayed.

4Optional. If the ETEP is operating in an IPv6 network you can also assign an IPv6 address to the management port. To do so, type

ip6 {<ip address>/<prefix-length>} [gateway]

ip address

IPv6 address of the ETEP management port. This is a 128-bit address

 

consisting of eight hexadecimal groups that are separated by colons. Each

 

group is a 4-digit hexadecimal number. The hexadecimal letters in IPv6

 

addresses are not case sensitive.

prefix-length

A decimal value that indicates the number of contiguous, higher-order bits of

 

the address that make up the network portion of the address. The decimal

 

value is preceded by a forward slash (/).

gateway

IPv6 address of the router port that is on the same local network as the ETEP

 

management port.

5Auto-negotiation is enabled by default. If you want to disable auto-negotiation and manually set the link speed and flow control, configure the autoneg command. Attributes are described in Table 22. autoneg {on} {off [<speed>] [<flow-control>]}

6Type exit to return to the config prompt, or type top to return to the command prompt.

Attribute

 

Description

on

 

Enables auto-negotiation on the management port. This is the default

 

 

setting.

off

 

Disables auto-negotiation on the management port. Use this setting to

 

 

manually configure link speed and flow control.

speed

 

[10m 100m 1000m]

 

 

When auto-negotiation is disabled, the speed attribute specifies the link

 

 

speed. The speed defaults to 100m.

duplex

 

[half/full]

 

 

When auto-negotiation is disabled, the duplex attribute specifies the duplex

 

 

setting. The duplex setting defaults to full.

flow control

 

[on off]

 

 

When auto-negotiation is disabled, this attribute configures the flow control

 

 

setting to be on or off. The flow control setting defaults to on.
