Chapter 2
Configuring General Switch Features
In the IP Interface Configuration Table, look for an Internet address entry under the lnPci entry. If an IP
address is configured, you can use that address and skip the rest of this procedure. However, if the
address has not been entered or is incompatible with your network, you must configure a valid disk IP
address as described in the next step.
Note
Step 3
To set the disk IP address for the LAN port, enter the ipifconfig command using the following format:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> ipifconfig lnPci0 <IP_Addr> <netmask Mask>
Replace <IP_Addr> with the IP address you want this port to use, and replace <Mask> with the network
mask used on this network.
Note
Step 4
Verify that the disk IP address changes by entering the dspipif command. For example:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> dspipif lnPci0
mgx8850a
MGX8850
IP INTERFACE CONFIGURATION

lnPci (unit number 0):
Starting a CLI Session Through the LAN Port
The switch includes a Telnet server process that you can use to connect to and manage the switch. Before
you can establish a CLI Telnet session, you must set up the hardware for your access method and assign
the appropriate boot and disk IP addresses.
Release 5.0.10, OL-3845-01 Rev. B0, August 16, 2004
If you are using CWM to manage your network, the IP address 10.0.XX cannot be used as the
disk IP address for the switch.
There are other options for the ipifconfig command, and you can set one or more options
simultaneously. Any options you do not define in a command remain unchanged. For more
information on this command, refer to Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM45/PXM1E), Cisco MGX 8950,
Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco MGX 8880 Command Reference, Release 5.
