Managing the CSS Software
Finding an IP Address in the Running-Config File
OL-5647-02
To avoid IP address conflicts when you configure the CSS, you can search the
CSS running-config file for use of a specific IP address. You can include a
netmask for subnet (wildcard) searches. Use the find ip address command to
search the CSS running-config file for the IP address.
When you use this command, the CSS checks all services, source groups, content
rules, ACLs, the management port, the syslog, Application Peering Protocol
(APP) sessions, and local interfaces in the running-config file for the specified IP
address. If the address is found, the CSS displays the locations of its use. If no
addresses are found, the CSS returns you to the command prompt.
This command is available in all modes. The syntax is:
find ip address ip_or_host {subnet_mask | range number}
The options and variables for this command are as follows:
ip_or_host - IP address in dotted-decimal notation (for example,
•
192.168.11.1) or enter the host name in mnemonic host-name format (for
example, host.domain.com).
•
subnet mask - The IP subnet mask. Enter the subnet mask as either:
A prefix length in CIDR bit-count notation (for example, /24). Enter a
–
prefix length of /16 or greater. Do not include a space to separate the IP
address from the prefix length.
An IP address in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 255.255.255.0).
–
range number - Defines how many IP addresses you want to find, starting
•
with the ip_or_host address. Enter a number from 1 to 65535. The default
range is 1.
For example, if you enter an IP address of 192.168.1.1 with a range of 10, the
CSS tries to find the addresses from 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.10.
For example:
(config)# find ip address 192.168.0.0
Users of IP address 192.168.0.0
Content Rule - 192.168.12.1, layer 3, owner: lml, state:Active
Content Rule - 192.168.12.1, layer 5, owner: lml, state:Active
Service - 192.168.3.6, serv1, state:Active
Service - 192.168.3.7, serv3, state:Active
Interface - 192.168.1.117. VLAN1
Interface - 192.168.2.117. VLAN1
