Modifying an

Interface

You can change the configuration of an interface that you have already
defined.

You can add one or more advertisement addresses or PVCs to an
interface with the

rip addAdvertisement

and

ip interface addPVC

commands as well as with the

ip interface modify

command. If you add

or change an advertisement address or PVC with the

modify

command,

you must reenter all addresses or PVCs that are associated with the
interface, not only the one that you want to add or change.

To modify an IP interface:

1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

ip interface modify

You are prompted for the interface parameters.

2 Modify existing interface parameters by entering new values at the

prompts. Press Return at the prompts to accept the values for the
parameters that you do not want to modify.

Removing an

Interface

You can remove an interface if you no longer route on the ports that are
associated with the interface.

To remove an IP interface definition:

1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

ip interface remove

2 Enter the index numbers of the interfaces you want to remove.

If you have defined one or more PVCs on the interface, the
Administration Console displays a message indicating that the PVCs will
be removed with the interface.

This example is a prompt for interface 2, which has one PVC associated
with it:

1 PVC associated with the interface index 2. Do you wish to

continue (yes/no) [yes]:

Press Return to accept the default (

yes

) to delete the interface.

Deleted interfaces are removed immediately.
