config interface address
To configure address information for an interface, use the config interface address command.
config interface address { ap-manager IP_address netmask gateway | management IP_address netmask gateway | service-port IP_address netmask | virtual IP_address | dynamic-interface IP_address dynamic_interface netmask gateway | redundancy-management IP_address peer-redundancy-management IP_address }
Syntax Description

Usage Guidelines
The management interface acts like an AP-manager interface by default.
This command is applicable for IPv4 addresses only.
Ensure that the management interfaces of both controllers are in the same subnet. Ensure that the Redundant Management IP address for both controllers is the same. Likewise, ensure that the Peer Redundant Management IP address for both the controllers is the same.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure an access point manager interface with IP address 209.165.201.31, network mask 255.255.0.0, and gateway address 209.165.201.30:
(Cisco Controller) > config interface address ap-manager 209.165.201.31 255.255.0.0 209.165.201.30
The following example shows how to configure a redundancy management interface on the controller:
(Cisco Controller) > config interface address redundancy-management 209.4.120.5 peer-redundancy-management 209.4.120.6
The following example shows how to configure a virtual interface:
(Cisco Controller) > config interface address virtual 1.1.1.1

config interface nasid
To configure the Network Access Server identifier (NAS-ID) for the interface, use the config interface nasid command.
config interface nasid { NAS-ID | none} interface_name
Syntax Description
NAS-ID |
Network Access Server identifier (NAS-ID) for the interface. The NAS-ID is sent to the RADIUS server by the controller (as a RADIUS client) using the authentication request, which is used to classify users to different groups. You can enter up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Youcan configure the NAS-ID on the interface, WLAN, or an access point group. The order of priority is AP group NAS-ID > WLAN NAS-ID > Interface NAS-ID. |
none |
Configures the controller system name as the NAS-ID. |
interface_name |
Interface name up to 32 alphanumeric characters. |
Command Default
None
