RackSwitch G8000: Application Guide
IP Interfaces
IP interfaces are used for defining the networks to which the switch belongs.
Up to 128 IP interfaces can be configured on the RackSwitch G8000 (G8000). The
IP address assigned to each IP interface provides the switch with an IP presence on
your network. No two IP interfaces can be on the same IP network. The interfaces
can be used for connecting to the switch for remote configuration, and for routing
between subnets and VLANs (if used).
1. Select the IP interface to configure, or skip interface configuration at the

without specifying a VLAN number to accept the current setting.
5. At the prompt, enter

6. The system prompts you to configure another interface:
Repeat the steps in this section until all IP interfaces have been configured. When
all interfaces have been configured, press <Enter> without specifying any interface
number.
