Configure an IP address, subnet mask, and static route on the Cisco NCS 1014 management interface for system management and remote communication.
Use this task to configure the management interface on Cisco NCS 1014 when the chassis is not booted using ZTP.
The management interface enables system management and remote communication. Assigning an IP address and subnet mask allows for system management, while configuring a static route enables communication with devices on other networks.
Before you begin
-
Obtain the IP addresses and subnet mask for the management interface from your network administrator.
-
Verify that the management interface is connected to the management network.
Procedure
| 1. | Enter IOS XR configuration mode. Example: |
|
| 2. | Enter interface configuration mode for the management interface using the command interface mgmtEth rack/slot/instance/port Example: |
|
| 3. | Assign an IP address and a subnet mask to the management interface using the command ipv4 address ipv4-address subnet-mask . Example: |
|
| 4. | Place the management interface in an up state. Example: |
|
| 5. | Exit the management interface configuration mode. Example: |
|
| 6. | Specify the IP address of the default gateway to configure a static route using the command router static address-family ipv4 unicast 0.0.0.0/0 default-gateway . This IP address is used for communication with devices on other networks. Example: |
|
| 7. | Save the configuration changes by using the commit or end command. |
The management interface of Cisco NCS 1014 is configured with an IP address, subnet mask, and a static route to the default gateway.
What to do next
Connect the management interface to the Ethernet network. Establish an SSH or Telnet connection to the management interface using its IP address.
