Configuring Layer 2 Ip Addresses; Defining Ip Interfaces - Cisco Linksys SFE1000P Reference Manual

Configuring Layer 2 IP Addresses

The IP address and default gateway can be either dynamically or statically configured. In Layer 2, a
static IP address is configured on the VLAN Management Properties Page. The Management VLAN
is set to VLAN 100 by default, but can be modified.
This section provides information for configuring Layer 2 features, and includes the following topics:
• Defining IP Routing
• Enabling ARP

Defining IP Interfaces

The IP Interface Page contains fields for assigning IP addresses. Packets are forwarded to the default
IP when frames are sent to a remote network. The configured IP address must belong to the same IP
address subnet of one of the IP interfaces.
The IP Interface Page contains the following fields:
• Get Dynamic IP from DHCP Server — Retrieves the IP addresses using DHCP.
• Static IP Address — Permanent IP addresses are defined by the administrator. IP addresses
are either configured on the Default VLAN or are user-defined.
• Management VLAN — Sets the management VLAN. The switch uses this VLAN to watch for
management packets from Telnet and web browser management sessions.
• IP Address — Displays the currently configured IP address.
• Network Mask — Displays the currently configured IP address mask.
