2Determine the port number of the module.
3Determine whether the interface already has an IP address.
host1#show ip interface fastEthernet 6/0
Note: If an IP interface is not configured, you see the message: “Invalid interface.”
If the interface already has an IP address, go to step 5. Otherwise,
proceed with step 4.
4Set an IP address on the interface.
host1#configure
Configuring from terminal or file [terminal]?
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
host1(config)#interface fastEthernet 6/0
host1(config-if)#ip address ipAddress [ mask ]
5Press <CTRL-Z> to return to Privileged Exec mode.
Task 4: Configure Access to the Network Host
To configure access to the network host:
1Use the ping command to determine whether the ERX system can
reach the network host.
host1#ping ipAddress
If the ERX system can reach the network host, go to the next section.
Otherwise, go to step 2.
2Determine if a route exists between the ERX system and the network
host.
host1#show ip route
If the appropriate route is displayed, go to step 4. Otherwise, proceed
with step 3.
3Configure a route to reach the network host.
host1#configure
Configuring from terminal or file [terminal]?
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
host1(config)#ip route ipNetwork networkMask ipNextHop
4Press <CTRL-Z> to return to Privileged Exec mode.
5Determine whether the ERX system has been configured to
recognize the network host.
host1#show host
