brouter

Configures a port as a brouter port.

Syntax

Command Parameters

mac-offset <0-511>

Specifies a number by which to offset the MAC address from the chassis MAC address. This ensures that each IP address has a different MAC address. If you omit this variable, a unique MAC offset is automatically generated.

name WORD <0-64>

Specifies the name of the IP interface.

port {slot/port[/sub-port]}

Identifies a single slot and port. If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.

state-disabled

Creates the IP interface in an administratively disabled state. This parameter is useful if you want to preconfigure an IP interface, including the routing protocol configuration for that interface, and enable it later during a maintenance window. By default, the switch enables an IP interface after you configure the primary IP address.

subnet {<A.B.C.D/X> | <A.B.C.D> <A.B.C.D>}
Assigns an IP address and mask for the port. You can use either the <A.B.C.D/X> or <A.B.C.D> <A.B.C.D> notation format.
vlan <2-4059>

Specifies the VLAN ID in the range of 2 to 4059. VLAN ID 1 is the default VLAN and you cannot create or delete VLAN ID 1. By default, the system reserves VLAN IDs 4060 to 4094 for internal use. On switches that support the vrf-scaling and spbm-config-mode boot configuration flags, if you enable these flags, the system also reserves VLAN IDs 3500 to 3998.

Default

None

Command Mode

GigabitEthernet Interface Configuration

Usage Guidelines

The state-disabled parameter does not appear in a saved configuration file. The configuration file uses the no ip interface enable syntax.
