Subnet Configuration
The Subnet Configuration screen, shown in Figure 6-35, allows you to spec-
ify an IP interface for any VLAN configured on this Switch that needs to
communicate with a device outside of its own group (that is, another net-
work segment).
• Intf. - This identifies the IP Interface configured.
• IP Address - The IP address associated with the specified VLAN interface.
By convention, the last three digits should be set to "254" to readily distin-
guish this device as a router port. To modify this IP interface, select it and
press Enter. The default address is 192.168.1.254.
• Subnet Mask - A template that identifies the address bits in the host
address used for routing to specific subnets. Each bit that corresponds
to a "1" is part of the network/subnet number, and each bit that
corresponds to "0" is part of the host number.
• VLAN - The VLAN associated with this IP interface.
• RIP - Routing Information Protocol for unicast routing.
• OSPF - Open Shortest Path First routing protocol.
