Chapter 10
Configuring Basic Features
This chapter describes how to configure basic, non-protocol features on Foundry devices using the CLI and Web
management interface.
This chapter contains procedures for configuring the following parameters:
•
Basic System Parameters – see “Configuring Basic System Parameters” on page 10-3
•
Basic Port Parameters – see “Configuring Basic Port Parameters” on page 10-26
•
Basic Layer 2 Parameters – see “Configuring Basic Layer 2 Parameters” on page 10-33
•
Basic Layer 3 Parameters – see “Configuring Basic Layer 3 Parameters” on page 10-68
•
System defaults and table sizes – see “Displaying and Modifying System Parameter Default Settings” on
page 10-70
•
Mirror ports (for traffic diagnosis and troubleshooting) – see “Assigning a Mirror Port and Monitor Ports” on
page 10-73
NOTE:
For information about configuring IP addresses, DNS resolver, DHCP assist, and other IP-related
parameters, see “Configuring IP” on page 15-1.
Foundry switches and routers are configured at the factory with default parameters that allow you to begin using
the basic features of the system immediately. However, many of the advanced features such as VLANs or routing
protocols for the router must first be enabled at the system (global) level before they can be configured.
•
If you use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure system parameters, you can find these system level
parameters at the Global CONFIG level of the CLI.
•
If you use the Web management interface, you configure the system level parameters on the System
configuration panel, which is displayed by default when you start a management session. Figure 10.1 shows
an example of the System configuration panel on a BigIron Layer 3 Switch.
NOTE:
Before assigning or modifying any router parameters, you must assign the IP sub-net (interface)
addresses for each port.
NOTE:
This chapter does not describe how to configure Virtual LANs (VLANs). For VLAN configuration
information, see “Configuring Virtual LANs (VLANs)” on page 25-1.
