You make changes by entering the line number for the option you want to change, an equal

On some revisions of the MPX , you must configure the
Ethernet management port with the boot prompt before
you can use the
ethernetc command. See Appendix A,
“The Boot Prompt,” for more information on configur-
ing the Ethernet management port with the boot
prompt.
The configurable options displayed by the ethernetc command are described below.
1) Port Admin status UP
Enter 1=Yes (the default) to enable the Ethernet management port or 1=No to disable it.
