Ip Address Configuration - Ruckus Wireless ICX 7250 Hardware Installation Manual

Configuring the Device

IP address configuration

3. While the system is booting, before the initial system prompt appears, enter b to enter the boot monitor mode.
4. Enter no password. (You cannot abbreviate this command.)
5. Enter boot. This command causes the device to bypass the system password check.
After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.
IP address configuration
You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the system using the
other management interfaces.
Ruckus devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and Classless Interdomain
Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.
• To enter a classical IP network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter "10.157.22.99
255.255.255.0" for an IP address with a Class C subnet mask.
• To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash (/) and the number of bits in the mask immediately
after the IP address. For example, enter "10.157.22.99/24" for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant
("mask") bits.
By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (for example, 255.255.255.0). You can change the
display to the prefix format. Refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.
Devices running Layer 2 software
Use the following procedure to configure an IP address on a device running Layer 2 software.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
device> enable
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt, and then press Enter . This command erases the
factory test configuration if still present.
device# erase startup-config
CAUTION
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system
you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the
configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running
configuration to the startup-config file.
3. Access the global configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:
device# configure terminal
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the device.
device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
