Parameters

interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number. If you do not specify an interface, this command displays IP configuration and statistics for all Layer 3 interfaces except VA interfaces.

Usage guidelines

Use the display ip interface command to display IP configuration and statistics for the specified Layer 3 interface. The statistics include the following information:

· The number of unicast packets, bytes, and multicast packets the interface has sent and received.

· The number of TTL-invalid packets and ICMP packets the interface has received.

The packet statistics helps you locate a possible attack on the network.

IP addressing commands -- ip address

Use ip address to assign an IP address to the interface.

Use undo ip address to remove the IP address from the interface.

Syntax

Centralized devices:Distributed devices in standalone mode:

ip address ip-address { mask-length | mask } [ sub ]

undo ip address [ ip-address { mask-length | mask } [ sub ] ]

Centralized IRF devices:Distributed devices in IRF mode:

ip address ip-address { mask-length | mask } [ irf-member member-id | sub ]

undo ip address ip-address { mask-length | mask } [ irf-member member-id | sub ]

Default

Parameters

ip-address: Specifies the IP address of the interface, in dotted decimal notation.

mask-length: Specifies the subnet mask length in the range of 1 to 31. For a loopback interface, the value range is 1 to 32.

mask: Specifies the subnet mask in dotted decimal notation.

irf-member member-id: Assigns an IP address to the management Ethernet port of the specified IRF member device. The member-id argument specifies an IRF member device by its member ID. The value range for the member-id argument varies by device model.

sub: Assigns a secondary IP address to the interface.

Usage guidelines

Use the command to assign a primary or secondary IP address to an interface.

An interface can have only one primary IP address. A newly configured primary IP address overwrites the previous address. If the interface connects to multiple subnets, configure primary and secondary IP addresses on the interface so the subnets can communicate with each other through the interface.

You cannot assign secondary IP addresses to an interface that obtains an IP address through BOOTP, PPP address negotiation, IP unnumbered, or DHCP.

If you do not specify any parameters, the undo ip address command removes all IP addresses from the interface. The undo ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } command removes the primary IP address. The undo ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } sub command removes a secondary IP address.

The primary and secondary IP addresses assigned to the interface can be located on the same network segment. Different interfaces on your device must reside on different network segments.

The IP addresses assigned to the management Ethernet ports of all IRF member devices must be in the same subnet. In an IRF fabric, only the IP address assigned to the management Ethernet port of the master takes effect. Make sure no IP address conflict exists when you assign IP addresses to the management Ethernet ports of subordinates. The system does not warn of an IP address conflict because the IP addresses assigned to the management Ethernet ports of subordinates do not take effect. After an IRF fabric split, the IP addresses assigned to the management Ethernet ports of the new masters (original subordinates) take effect.

Examples

# Assign GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 a primary IP address 129.102.0.1 and a secondary IP address 202.38.160.1, with the subnet masks both 255.255.255.0. (Applicable to routers.)

Parameters

interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface from which the current interface can borrow an IP address.

Usage guidelines

Typically, you assign an IP address to an interface either manually or through DHCP. If the IP addresses are not enough, or the interface is used only occasionally, you can configure an interface to borrow an IP address from other interfaces. This is called IP unnumbered, and the interface borrowing the IP address is called IP unnumbered interface.

Loopback interfaces cannot borrow IP addresses of other interfaces, but other interfaces can borrow IP addresses of loopback interfaces.

Multiple interfaces can use the same unnumbered IP address. If an interface has multiple manually configured IP addresses, only the primary IP address manually configured can be borrowed.

You cannot enable a dynamic routing protocol on the interface that has no IP address configured. To enable the interface to communicate with other devices, you must configure a static route to the peer device on the interface.

# Configure the tunnel interface Tunnel 0 to borrow the IP address of the interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1. (Applicable to routers.)
