◆
This section describes how to configure a single local interface for initial
access to the switch. To configure multiple IP interfaces, set up an IP
interface for each VLAN.
◆
Once an IP address has been assigned to an interface, routing between
different interfaces on the switch is enabled.
◆
To enable routing between interfaces defined on this switch and
external network interfaces, you must configure static routes
( page 753 ) or use dynamic routing; i.e., RIP, OSPFv2 or OSPFv3
( page 770 , 788 or 1790 respectively).
◆
The precedence for configuring IP interfaces is the IP > General >
Routing Interface (Add) menu, static routes ( page 753 ), and then
dynamic routing.

These parameters are displayed:
◆ VLAN – ID of the configured VLAN (1-4094). By default, all ports on
the switch are members of VLAN 1. However, the management station
can be attached to a port belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN
has been assigned an IP address.
◆ IP Address Mode – Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via
manual configuration (User Specified), Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled,
IP will not function until a reply has been received from the server.
Requests will be broadcast periodically by the switch for an IP address.
DHCP/BOOTP responses can include the IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway. (Default: DHCP)
◆ IP Address Type – Specifies a primary or secondary IP address. An
interface can have only one primary IP address, but can have many
secondary IP addresses. In other words, secondary addresses need to
be specified if more than one IP subnet can be accessed through this
interface. For initial configuration, set this parameter to Primary.
(Options: Primary, Secondary; Default: Primary)
Note that a secondary address cannot be configured prior to setting the
primary IP address, and the primary address cannot be removed if a
secondary address is still present. Also, if any router or switch in a
network segment uses a secondary address, all other routers/switches
in that segment must also use a secondary address from the same
network or subnet address space.
◆
IP Address – IP Address – IP Address of the VLAN. Valid IP
addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.
(Default: None)

You can manage the switch through any configured IP interface.
