ip-address
This command assigns the primary network address for the Ethernet interface.
Syntax
ip-address address
Parameters
- address
- Specifies the IP address and netmask. The netmask is in CIDR format
and is the integer that assigns the prefix length.

- For version 6, the prefix length can be in the range of 0 through 128.
Guidelines
The ip-address command assigns the primary network address to the interface. The network address is an IP address with its subnet mask.
To assign secondary, or auxiliary, IP addresses, use the ip-secondary-address command.
This command is meaningful except in
the following situations:
- You use the link-aggregation-mode command to make the interface part of an aggregate interface.
- You use the ip-config-mode command to identify autoconfiguration with DHCP or SLAAC.
