This section describes the IP addresses for the Cisco C880 server.
1.2.1 IP addresses used in the Cisco C880 server
Each of the SB, IOU, and MMB units in the Cisco C880 server has network interfaces. Each port of these
network interfaces must be assigned an IP address.
To the ports, assign IP addresses appropriate to the external network environment of the Cisco C880 server.
The following describes the IP addresses assigned to the ports.

an
external network port of the MMB through the switching hub on the MMB. The MMB firmware uses the IP
addresses.
