RackSwitch G8000: Application Guide
To set up a default gateway:
1. At the prompt, select an IP default gateway for configuration, or skip default
gateway configuration:
IP default gateways:
Enter default gateway number: (1-4)
Enter the number for the IP default gateway to be configured. To skip default
gateway configuration, press <Enter> without typing a gateway number and go
to "IP Routing" on page
2. At the prompt, enter the IPv4 address for the selected default gateway:
Current IP address:
Enter new IP address:
Enter the IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation, or press <Enter> without
specifying an address to accept the current setting.
3. At the prompt, enter y to enable the default gateway, or n to leave it disabled:
Enable default gateway? [y/n]
4. The system prompts you to configure another default gateway:
Enter default gateway number: (1-4)
Repeat the steps in this section until all default gateways have been configured.
When all default gateways have been configured, press <Enter> without specifying
any number.
When IP interfaces are configured for the various IP subnets attached to your
switch, IP routing between them can be performed entirely within the switch. This
eliminates the need to send inter-subnet communication to an external router
device. Routing on more complex networks, where subnets may not have a direct
presence on the G8000, can be accomplished through configuring static routes or
by letting the switch learn routes dynamically.
This part of the Setup program prompts you to configure the various routing
parameters.
At the prompt, enable or disable forwarding for IP Routing:
Enable IP forwarding? [y/n]
Enter y to enable IP forwarding. To disable IP forwarding, enter n. To keep the
current setting, press <Enter>.
