Ethernet commands

You can use the Ethernet commands to configure the Ethernet interfaces on the IBM® MQ Appliance.

The Ethernet commands can be run from the command line interface in Ethernet configuration mode. To enter Ethernet configuration mode, complete the following steps:

From the appliance command line, enter global configuration mode:
```
config
```
From global configuration mode, enter Ethernet configuration mode:
```
ethernet name
```
where name is the name of the Ethernet port that you want to configure.
Type exit to leave the configuration mode and save your changes, then type exit again to leave global configuration mode.

If you change the IP addresses of Ethernet links that are used in high availability or disaster recovery configurations, the configuration will cease to function. See Changing IP addresses in high availability configurations and Changing IP addresses in disaster recovery configurations.
