Setup Part 4: IP Configuration
The system prompts for IPv4 parameters.
Although the switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks, the Setup utility
permits only IPv4 configuration. For IPv6 configuration, see “Internet Protocol
Version 6” on page 325 .
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 NE2552E Flex Switch (NE2552E).
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).
Note:
Interface 128 is reserved for IPv4 switch management.
