Table 265: Configuration Fields (continued)
Field
Description
Maximum Routes
The maximum number of routes (routing table size) supported by the switch.
Global Default Gateway
The IP address of the default gateway for the device. If the destination IP address
in a packet does not match any routes in the routing table, the packet is sent to
the default gateway. The gateway specified in this field is more preferred than a
default gateway learned from a
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
server. Use the icons associated with this field to perform the following tasks:
•
To configure the default gateway, click the
Edit
icon and specify the IP
address of the default gateway in the available field.
•
To reset the IP address of the default gateway to the factory default value,
click the
Reset
icon associated with this field.

Table 266: Interface Summary Fields
Field
Description
Interface
The interface associated with the rest of the data in the row. When viewing
details about the routing settings for an interface, this field identifies the
interface being viewed.
Status
Whether the interface is capable of routing IP packets (Up) or cannot route
packets (Down). For the status to be Up, the routing mode and administrative
mode for the interface must be enabled. Additionally, the interface must have an
IP address and be physically up (active link).
IP Address
The IP address of the interface.
Subnet Mask
The IP subnet mask for the interface (also known as the network mask or
netmask). It defines the portion of the interface's IP address that is used to
identify the attached network.
Admin Mode
The administrative mode of the interface, which is either Enabled or Disabled.
State
The state of the interface, which is either Active or Inactive. An interface is
considered active if the link is up, and the interface is in a forwarding state.
MAC Address
The burned-in physical address of the interface. The format is six two-digit
hexadecimal numbers separated by colons, for example 00:06:29:32:81:40.
