IP address configuration
The devices implement separate data and control planes. This architecture affects how you assign
IP addresses.
Table 7 outlines the interfaces to which you can assign IP addresses.
In this table, “in band” refers to an interface over which user packets are routed, while “out of
band” refers to an interface over which control packets related to system management are
forwarded.
This section describes the following:
• Support of sub-net masks
• How to assign an IP address to a management interface
• How to assign an IP address to an interface or virtual interface over which user packets are
routed
Support of sub-net masks
The devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C sub-net masks, and so on)
and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.
