Table 12: IP interface parameters — routing switches
Parameter
Description
Default
See page
IP address
A Layer 3 network
interface address;
separate IP addresses on
individual VLAN
interfaces.
None configured
Metric
A numeric cost the router
adds to RIP routes learned
on the interface. This
parameter applies only to
RIP routes.
1 (one)
A-33
ICMP Router Discovery
Protocol (IRDP)
Locally overrides the
global IRDP settings.
Disabled
A-159
IP helper address
The IP address of a UDP
application server (such as
a BootP or DHCP server)
or a directed broadcast
address. IP helper
addresses allow the
routing switch to forward
requests for certain UDP
applications from a client
on one subnet to a server
on another subnet.
None configured
A-164
Configuring IP parameters for routing switches
The following sections describe how to configure IP parameters. Some parameters can be configured globally
and overridden for individual VLAN interfaces. Other parameters can be configured on individual VLAN interfaces.
NOTE:
For IP configuration information when routing is not enabled, see the
Management and Configuration
Guide
for your switch.
Configuring IP addresses
You can configure IP addresses on the routing switch's VLAN interfaces. For more information, see the
Management and Configuration Guide
for your switch.
Changing the router ID
In most configurations, a routing switch has multiple IP addresses, usually configured on different VLAN
interfaces. As a result, a routing switch's identity to other devices varies depending on the interface to which the
other device is attached. Some routing protocols, including OSPF, identify a routing switch by just one of the IP
addresses configured on the routing switch, regardless of the interfaces that connect the routing switches. This IP
address is the router ID.
