CLI Commands

To create an IP interface, you must use two CLI commands:

1. Create an Interface Name first.

(configure)# interface <interface_name> type {ethernet | nbma}

Example: (configure)# interface myif type ethernet

2. Assign an IP address to the interface.

(confg-if:myif)# ip address <ip-address> <mask>

Example: (config-if:myif)# ip address 192.168.97.1 255.255.255.0
