Configuring Global and Interface IP Settings
When network devices are in different IP subnets, packets traveling between the subnets must be routed by
a network device. By default, the D-Link DWS-4000 Series switch functions as a layer 2 switch. The pages under
the IP folder allow you to enable routing and configure port or VLAN IP addresses so that the D-Link DWS-4000
Series switch also performs layer 3 routing and can route IP packets between devices in different subnets.
IP Configuration
Use the IP Configuration page to configure routing parameters for the switch as opposed to an interface.
To display the page, click
LAN > L3 Features > IP > Configuration
in the navigation tree.
