Chapter 6 Interfaces

6.2.1.1 Basic Interface Properties Command Examples

The following commands make Ethernet interface ge1 a DHCP client.

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# interface ge1

Router(config-if)# ip address dhcp

Router(config-if)# exit

This example shows how to modify the name of interface ge4 to “VIP”. First you have to check the interface system name (ge4 in this example) on the ZyWALL. Then change the name and display the result.

This example shows how to change the user defined name from VIP to Partner. Note that you have to use the “interface-rename” command if you do not know the system name of the interface. To use the “interface-name” command, you have to find out the corresponding system name first (ge4 in this example). This example also shows how to change the user defined name from Partner to Customer using the “interface-name” command.

Router(config)# interface-rename VIP Partner Router(config)# show interface-name

No. System Name User Defined Name
