• For a Loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback then a number from 0 to 16383.• For the Management interface on the stack-unit, enter the keyword ManagementEthernet then the slot/port information.• For a port channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a number.• For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094.2 Enable the interface.INTERFACE modeno shutdown3 Configure a primary IP address and mask on the interface.INTERFACE modeip address ip-address mask [secondary]• ip-address mask: the IP address must be in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D). The mask must be in slash prefix-length format(/24).• secondary: add the keyword secondary if the IP address is the interface’s backup IP address. You can configure up to eightsecondary IP addresses.Example the show config CommandTo view the configuration, use the show config command in INTERFACE mode or use the show ip interface command in EXECprivilege mode, as shown in the second example.Dell(conf-if)#show conf!interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/1ip address 10.11.1.1/24no shutdown!Configuring Static RoutesA static route is an IP address that you manually configure and that the routing protocol does not learn, such as open shortest path first(OSPF). Often, static routes are used as backup routes in case other dynamically learned routes are unreachable.You can enter as many static IP addresses as necessary.To configure a static route, use the following command.• Configure a static IP address.CONFIGURATION modeip route [vrf vrf-name] ip-address mask {ip-address | interface [ip-address]} [distance][permanent] [tag tag-value] [vrf vrf-name]Use the following required and optional parameters:• vrf vrf-name : use the VRF option after the ip route keyword to configure a static route on that particular VRF, use the VRFoption after the next hop to specify which VRF the next hop belongs to. This will be used in route leaking cases.NOTE: For more information on route leaking, see the Route Leaking Between VRFs section.• ip-address: enter an address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).• mask: enter a mask in slash prefix-length format (/X).• interface: enter an interface type then the slot/port information.• distance: the range is from 1 to 255. (optional)• permanent: keep the static route in the routing table (if you use the interface option) even if you disable the interface withthe route. (optional)436 IPv4 Routing
