You can configure IPv4 and IPv6 static Ethernet network interface addresses in environments where the DHCP service is not available.
Before you begin
Before you configure a static address, connect to the device through the serial console.
About this task
To configure static Ethernet network interface addresses, perform the following steps:
Procedure
-
In privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode.
device# configure terminal
-
Access the interface management mode for the management interface.
device(config)# interface Management 1
This interface uses the default mgmt-vrf VRF.
-
Disable DHCP.
device(config-Management-0)# no ip address dhcp
-
Configure the IP address for the management interface.
device(config-Management-0)# ip address 10.24.85.81/20
-
If you are going to use an IPv6 address, configure the address.
device(config-Management-0)# ipv6 address 2001:DB8::69bc:832:e61f:13ff:fe67:4b94/32
-
Verify the configuration.
device(config-Management-0)# do show running-config interface Management 0
interface Management 0
no ip address dhcp
ip address 10.24.85.81/20
ipv6 address 2001:DB8::69bc:832:e61f:13ff:fe67:4b94/32
!
Example
The following example is the configuration of the previous steps.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface Management 0
device(config-Management-0)# no ip address dhcp
device(config-Management-0)# ip address 10.24.85.81/20
device(config-Management-0)# ipv6 address 2001:DB8::69bc:832:e61f:13ff:fe67:4b94/32
