onfiguring the IP Interface
These instructions include information on how to
define an IP interface through which you can manage
your CoreBuilder 9400 system. An IP interface
contains the following parameters:
■
IP address
— This address, which is specific to
your network, is used to manage the system. The
IP address defines both the number of the network
to which the interface is attached and its host
number on that network.
■
Subnet mask
— This 32-bit number uses the
same format and representation as an IP address.
The subnet mask determines which bits in the IP
address are interpreted as the network number,
which as the subnet number, and which as the
host number. Each IP address bit that corresponds
to a 1 in the subnet mask is in the network and
subnet part of the address. Each IP address bit that
corresponds to a 0 is in the host part of the IP
address.
In-band Management
To set the IP interface parameters to manage the
system in-band:
1
From the top level of the Administration Console,
enter:
ip interface define
2
Enter the IP address of the interface.
3
Enter the subnet mask of the subnetwork to which
the interface is to be connected.
4
Enter the interface type:
vlan
5
Enter the VLAN interface index
For more detailed instructions on assigning interface
parameters, see the
Command Reference Guide.
Out-of-band Management
To set the IP interface parameters to manage the
system out-of-band:
1
From the top level of the Administration Console,
enter:
ip interface define
2
Enter the IP address for the out-of-band port.
3
Enter the subnet mask of the subnetwork to which
the interface is to be connected. Press Return to
accept the default subnet mask.
4
Enter the interface type:
system

parameters, see the
Command Reference Guide.
