interface ge? ip-address
To enable an IP address on a Gigabit Ethernet interface for management of the SN 5428-2 Storage
Router, use the interface ge? ip-address command. To disable an IP address configured for storage
router management, use the no form of this command.
interface ge? [vlan vid] ip-address {A.B.C.D/bits | A.B.C.D/1.2.3.4} [secondary ge?]
no interface ge? [vlan vid] ip-address
Syntax Description
Defaults None.
Command Modes Administrator.
Command History
Usage Guidelines Use this command to designate an IP address on a Gigabit Ethernet interface to be used for management
of the SN 5428-2 Storage Router (in-band management). The Gigabit Ethernet IP address specified for
storage router management can perform all the normal management tasks, but unlike the management
interface, it cannot perform HA functions in a cluster environment if the HA interface is unavailable.
ge? The name of the Gigabit Ethernet interface associated with this IP address.
When you type the interface ge? command, the CLI lists the interfaces
available. You cannot specify a nonexistent interface.
vlan vid The keyword and the VLAN identifier.
A.B.C.D/bits The IP address of the specified Gigabit Ethernet interface to be used for
management of the SN 5428-2 Storage Router. If the keyword vlan is used,
the IP address is part of the specified VLAN. The /bits specifies the network
mask in CIDR style.
A.B.C.D/1.2.3.4 The IP address of the specified Gigabit Ethernet interface to be used for
management of the SN 5428-2 Storage Router. If the keyword vlan is used,
the IP address is part of the specified VLAN. A.B.C.D is the dotted quad
notation of the IP address. 1.2.3.4 is the dotted quad notation of the subnet
mask.
secondary ge? (Optional) The name of the Gigabit Ethernet interface to be used as a
secondary interface for the specified IP address. If the primary interface
goes down and remains down for two seconds, the specified IP address will
be moved to the secondary interface.
