Routing Configuration Quickstart
This section provides an overview of the how to configure the Avaya
Multiservice switch as a IP router.
To configure the switch as a IP router:
1. Ensure that physical port parameters and cabling are correctly configured
before creating VLANs. See Chapter 8 , “ Configuring Ports ”.
2. Create a VLAN (each VLAN is an IP subnet). See “ Creating and
Implementing VLANs ,” in Chapter 6 , “ Using VLANs, Hunt Groups,
and VTP Snooping .”
3. Assign switch ports to the VLAN. See “ Configuring Switch Ports
Settings ”, in Chapter 8 ,” Configuring Ports .”
4. Configure an IP interface, IP address and subnet mask, for each VLAN
and associated subnet.
5. Globally enable IP Forwarding (Routing).
6. Enable the routing protocol on an interface.
7. Specify how the router will communicate with other routers, by
configuring RIPv1, RIPv2 or OSPF v2 parameters.
* Note: The IP interfaces should be set to the ADMIN state Down.
8. Set the IP interface Admin State to Up.
Displaying Existing IP Interfaces
When you create an IP interface, you activate a location in the switch that
communicates between IP and the embedded software of the switch. You
can create an IP interface using either the Web Agent or the CLI.
Web Agent
Procedure
To display, modify, delete a previously created IP interfaces or to create a
new IP interface using the Web Agent:
1. Select Interfaces from the Routing > IP > Configuration group on the
Web Agent window. The IP Interfaces dialog box opens ( Figure 12-2 -
split in three due to size).
