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.
  2. [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

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

  1. (Optional) Specify the unit, family, and broadcast address for the interface.
  2. [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

  1. Verify the interface configuration.
  2. [edit interfaces eth0]
    
    user@host# show
    
    unit 0 {
    
      family { 
    
        inet { 
    
          address 192.2.0.10/24;
    
        }
