Setting a Default Gateway
Configuring and Monitoring the Switch 11-13
11.16 SETTING A DEFAULT GATEWAY
The default Gateway parameter defines the IP address of a router or other network device to which
IP packets are to be sent if destined for a subnet outside of that which the switch is operating.
To set a default gateway, proceed as follows:
1. Select Management Setup Menu from the Main Menu.
2. Select Network Configuration Menu and then IP Configuration .
3. In the field Gateway IP, enter the IP address and press ENTER.
11.17 CONFIGURING SMARTTRUNK
S
You can configure up to six port trunks on the switch. Each trunk can combine up to eight ports
into an aggregate connection with up to 800 Mbps of bandwidth when operating at full duplex.
Besides balancing the load across each port in the trunk, the additional ports provide redundancy
by taking over the load if another port in the trunk should fail.
To configure the port trunks, do the following:
1. Select the Device Control Menu from the Main Menu.
2. Select SmartTrunking Configuration .
3. Enter a SmartTrunk Group ID number from 1 to 6 to identify the trunk.
4. Select from two to eight ports to configure as one trunk. You can configure up to six trunks per
switch unit. The ports used for each trunk must all be on the same internal switch chip, which is
synonymous with the SmartTrunk Group ID.
Table 11-1 identifies the ports associated with
each group ID.

NOTE: The ports at both ends of a trunk must be configured in an identical manner,
including speed, duplex mode, and VLAN assignments.
