Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces

Configure the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to allow remote access to the C-series platform. You can specify an IP address with mask or a broadcast address with mask for an interface.

Use the following configuration statements to configure Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and the [edit] hierarchy level:

interfaces name unit unit-number

interfaces name unit unit-number family inet {

    address address; 

    broadcast broadcast; 

}

To configure a Gigabit Ethernet interface:

1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the interface.

[edit]

user@host# edit interfaces name unit unit-number

where unit-number is a number that you can assign for a logical interface identifier.

For example:

[edit]

user@host# edit interfaces eth0

2. Specify the unit, family, and IP address for the interface.

[edit interfaces eth0]

user@host# set unit number family inet address address

For example, to configure an interface with only an IP address:

[edit interfaces eth0]

user@host# set unit 0 family inet address 192.2.0.10/24

3. (Optional) Specify the unit, family, and broadcast address for the interface.

[edit interfaces eth0]

user@host# set unit number family inet broadcast broadcast

For example, to configure an interface with a broadcast IP address:

[edit interfaces eth0]

user@host# set unit 0 family inet address 192.2.0.20/24

4. Verify the interface configuration.

[edit interfaces eth0]

user@host# show

unit 0 {

  family { 

    inet { 

      address 192.2.0.10/24;

    }
