CAUTION
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you
have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally erase the
configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running
configuration to the startup-config file.
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:
PowerConnect# configure terminal
PowerConnect(config)#
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the management interface by entering the following commands:
PowerConnect(config)# interface management 1
PowerConnect(config-if-mgmt-1)# ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0
Assigning an IP address to an interface, virtual interface, or loopback
You must assign an IP address to each interface and virtual interface over which user packets are routed. You can
also assign an IP address to a loopback interface, which is generally used for testing and diagnostic purposes. You
must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you also can use the CLI
through Telnet or the Web management interface. By default, you can configure up to 24 IP interfaces on each
interface, virtual interface, and loopback interface.
For example, to assign IP address 192.22.3.44 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 to Ethernet interface 1/1, do the
following.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
PowerConnect> enable
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. This command erases the
factory test configuration if still present:
PowerConnect# erase startup-config
After you enter this command, you will need to restart the system.
