First-Time Quick Configuration
This section describes the minimal configuration required to facilitate first‐time communications
with the Matrix X16‐C. Consider the following:
with the Matrix X16‐C. Consider the following:
•
Decide whether you will configure the Matrix X16‐C for switching (bridging) or routing:
•
If routing, assign an IP address to interface eth0 for management access. Refer to
“
“
•
If switching, configure the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for network IP
address assignment. Refer to “
address assignment. Refer to “
•
Enable the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to configure proper chassis clocking. Refer to
“
“
•
Designate a name, location, and contact for the Matrix X16‐C. Refer to “

Assigning an IP Address to eth0
To assign an IP address to the Matrix X16‐C’s management interface (eth0), enter the following
commands at the CLI prompt:
commands at the CLI prompt:
1.
matrix-x(switch-su) router
2.
matrix-x(router-exec)# configure terminal
3.
matrix-x(router-config) interface eth0
4.
matrix-x(router-config-if-eth0) ip address {ip_address}(ip-mask)
5.
matrix-x(router-config-if-eth0) no shutdown
6.
matrix-x(router-config-if-eth0) exit
Configuring DHCP
To set up the Matrix X16‐C as a DHCP client on your network, enter the following commands at
the CLI prompt. This example includes manually configuring a default gateway.
the CLI prompt. This example includes manually configuring a default gateway.
1.
matrix-x(switch-su) router
2.
matrix-x(router-exec)# configure terminal
3.
matrix-x(router-config) ip route 0.0.0.0 {ip-address}
4.
matrix-x(router-config) interface {port_type.slot.port}
5.
matrix-x(router-config-if-xx.x.x) ip address dhcp
6.
matrix-x(router-config-if-xx.x.x) exit
Note: Be aware that a statically or DHCP-assigned IP address is accessible from within that subnet
by a host directly connected to the interface (via a switch) but if you need to connect to the console
from a host on a different subnet, you must configure a static route to that host. Refer to the Matrix X
Router Command Line Interface Reference Guide for more information.
