Changing the IP address
1. Select the context IP mode to configure an IP interface.
172.16.40.1(cfg)#context ip router
172.16.40.1(ctx-ip)[router]#
2. Set the IP address and network mask for the each IP interface (eth0, for example).
Note
For the examples in this guide, a private network (172.16.1) IP
address is used.
172.16.40.1(ctx-ip)[router]#interface eth0
172.16.40.1(if-ip)[eth0]#ipaddress 172.16.1.10 255.255.255.0
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link down on interface eth0.
2002-10-29T00:09:40 : LOGINFO : Link up on interface eth0.
172.16.1.10(if-ip)[eth0]#
3. Make this modified configuration your new start-up configuration. On the next start-up the system will
initialize itself using the modified configuration.
172.16.1.10 (if-ip)[eth0]#copy running-config startup-config
172.16.1.10 (if-ip)[eth0]#
