/config#

/config-vlan#end

/config#

ip address

Configures the IP address and mask of the interface you specified in the interface command. The interface is one of the following:

  • a physical interface when in INTERFACE GigabitEthernet mode.
  • a VLAN interface when in INTERFACE VLAN mode. Before you can configure the IP address of a VLAN interface, create the VLAN interface, using the command physical interface GigabitEthernet.

Specify the following parameters:

Table 41.  ip address command parameters

Parameter

Description

IP address

IP address of the physical network interface when in INTERFACE GigabitEthernet mode.

IP address of the VLAN interface when in INTERFACE VLAN mode.

mask

The netmask of the interface.

Example  

/config#interface GigabitEthernet 2

/config-if#ip address 10.10.17.27 255.255.255.0

no

Use the no command in INTERFACE mode as described in the following table.

Table 42.  no command parameters

Command

no ip address

no shutdown

Enables the GigibitEthernet or VLAN interface that you specified in the interface command.

physical interface GigabitEthernet

Creates a VLAN interface on the specified physical interface. This command is available only in INTERFACE VLAN mode.

Table 43.  physical interface GigabitEthernet parameters

Parameter

Description

GigabitEthernet interface number

A value between 1 and 6 that specifies the GigabitEthernet interface on which to create the VLAN interface.

Example  

/config#interface vlan 1

/config-vlan#

/config-vlan#physical interface GigabitEthernet 1

shutdown

Disables the VLAN or physical interface that you specified in the interface command. To enable the interface, use no shutdown. See no.

Example  

The following command disables a physical interface:

/config#interface GigabitEthernet 1

/config-if#shutdown
/config-if#

The following command disables a VLAN interface:

/config#interface vlan 1

/config-vlan#shutdown
/config_vlan#
