Assigning IP Addresses to an Interface

Assign primary and secondary IP addresses to physical or logical (for example, [virtual local area network [VLAN] or port channel) interfaces to enable IP communication between the system and hosts connected to that interface.

In the system, you can assign one primary address and up to 255 secondary IP addresses to each interface.
  1. Enter the keyword interface then the type of interface and slot/port information. CONFIGURATION mode interface interface
    • For a Loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback then a number from 0 to 16383.
    • For the Management interface on the RPM, enter the keyword ManagementEthernet then the slot/port information. The slot range is from 0 to 1. The port range is 0/0.
    • For a port channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a number from 1 to 128.
    • For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
    • For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094.
  2. Enable the interface. INTERFACE mode no shutdown
  3. Configure a primary IP address and mask on the interface. INTERFACE mode ip address ip-address mask [secondary]
    • ip-address mask : the IP address must be in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D). The mask must be in slash prefix-length format (/24).
    • secondary: add the keyword secondary if the IP address is the interface’s backup IP address.
To view the configuration, use the show config command in INTERFACE mode or use the show ip interface command in EXEC privilege mode, as shown in the second example.

Example the show config Command 

Dell(conf-if-te-0/16)#show conf
                                 !
                                 interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/16
                                 no ip address
                                 shutdown
                                 Dell(conf-if-te-0/16)#

Example of the show ip interface Command 

Dell#show ip interface tengig 0/16
                                 TenGigabitEthernet 0/16 is down, line protocol is down
                                 Internet address is not set
                                 IP MTU is 1500 bytes
                                 Directed broadcast forwarding is disabled
                                 Proxy ARP is enabled
                                 Split Horizon is enabled
                                 Poison Reverse is disabled
                                 ICMP redirects are not sent
                                 ICMP unreachables are not sent
                                 Dell#
