Administering interfaces 9-7
Modifying an
Interface
You might want to change the configuration of an interface you have
already defined.
You can add one or more advertisement addresses or PVCs to an interface
through the
addAdvertisement and addPVC commands as well as through
the IP interface
modify command. If you add or change an advertisement
address or PVC through the
modify command, you must re-enter all
addresses or PVCs associated with the interface, not just the one you want to
add or change.
To modify an IP interface:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip interface modify
You are prompted for the interface parameters. Press [Return] at the
prompts for the parameters you do not want to modify.
2 Modify the existing interface parameters by entering a new value at the
prompt.
Removing an
Interface
You might want to remove an interface if you no longer route on the ports
associated with the interface.
To remove an IP interface definition:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip interface remove
2 Enter the index numbers of the interfaces you want to remove.
If you have defined one or more PVCs on the interface, the Administration
Console displays a message indicating that the PVCs will be removed with
the interface. The following is an example of a prompt for interface 2, which
has one PVC associated with it:
1 PVC associated with the interface index 2. Do you wish
to continue (yes/no) [yes]:
Accept the default (yes) if you want to delete the interface.
