Px Series Application Switch Installation and Configuration Guide

# configure ESRP, with additional VLANs under master VLAN

config esrp port-mode host ports 1

config esrp port-mode host ports 8

config vlan "master" add domain-member v2

config vlan "master" add domain-member v3

enable esrp vlan master

Configuring a Default Gateway

The Px series application switch supports two gateways. If the primary default gateway
(router) fails, the application switch will change to a second gateway

•

To add a default gateway use the following command:

config default-gateway add <ip>

•

To delete a default gateway use the following command:

config default-gateway delete <ip>

•

To switch between default gateways use the following command:

config default-gateway switch
