Question

When in global configuration mode, which steps are necessary to edit an ip address on an Ethernet interface?

Answer 1

Answer:

I. You should enter interface configuration mode.

II. Configure the IP address and subnet mask.

Explanation:

A node refers to the physical device that make up a network and are capable of sending, receiving, creating and storing data in communication.

Some examples of network nodes are modem, hubs, computer, switches, phone and printers.

In Computer networking, network devices such as routers and switches are usually configured (programmed) through the use of specific network commands commonly referred to as configs e.g show int description, config terminal (config t), show IP address, etc.

In Cisco devices, there are five (5) main types of command modes;

1. Sub-interface configuration mode.

2. Interface configuration mode.

3. Line configuration mode.

4. Router configuration method.

5. Global configuration mode.

Global configuration mode is a configuration mode that avail network engineers and end users with the ability to modify or edit the running (global) system configuration of a networking device. Thus, any change effected at the global configuration mode will affect the network device as a whole.

In global configuration mode, the steps which are necessary to edit an ip address on an Ethernet interface include;

I. You should enter interface configuration mode using the "configure terminal" command.

II. Configure the IP address and subnet mask.

See an example below;

"Router(config-if)# IP address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0"
