    Configure IP Addresses on Router Interfaces

    Purpose

    Before you can run MPLS on your network, you must have an IP address configured on all interfaces. Repeat this procedure as appropriate on other router interfaces in your network until all interfaces have an IP address.

    Action

    To configure an IP address, follow these steps:

    1. In configuration mode, go to the following hierarchy level:
      [edit]user@host# edit interfaces type-fpc/pic/port unit logical-unit-number
    2. Configure the IP address:
      [edit interfaces type-fpc/pic/port unit number]user@host# set family inet address address
    3. Verify the configuration:
      user@host# show
      user@host# commit

    Sample Output

    user@R1> edit
    Entering configuration mode
    
    [edit]
    user@R1# edit interfaces so-0/0/2 unit 0
    
    [edit interfaces so-0/0/2 unit 0]
    user@R1# set family inet address 10.1.13.1/30
    
    [edit interfaces so-0/0/2 unit 0]
    user@R1# show 
    family inet  {
         address 10.1.13.1/30 ;
    }
    
    [edit interfaces so-0/0/2 unit 0]
    user@R1# commit 
    commit complete
    

    Meaning

    The sample output shows an interface configured with an IP address. The IP address is assigned when you configure the protocol family. In this instance, the IP address is included in the inet family. The family statement identifies which protocol packets are accepted into the interfaces. For example, valid IP packets are dropped if the interface is not configured with the family inet statement.
