RackSwitch G8000: Application Guide
IP interfaces are used for defining the networks to which the switch belongs.
Up to 128 IP interfaces can be configured on the RackSwitch G8000 (G8000). 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).
1. Select the IP interface to configure, or skip interface configuration at the
prompt:
IP Config:
IP interfaces:
Enter interface number: (1-128)
If you wish to configure individual IP interfaces, enter the number of the IP
interface you wish to configure. To skip IP interface configuration, press <Enter>
without typing an interface number and go to
2. For the specified IP interface, enter the IP address in IPv4 dotted decimal
notation:
Current IP address:
Enter new IP address:
To keep the current setting, press <Enter>.
3. At the prompt, enter the IPv4 subnet mask in dotted decimal notation:
Current subnet mask:
Enter new subnet mask:
To keep the current setting, press <Enter>.
4. If configuring VLANs, specify a VLAN for the interface.
This prompt appears if you selected to configure VLANs back in Part 1:
Current VLAN:
Enter new VLAN [1-4094]:
Enter the number for the VLAN to which the interface belongs, or press <Enter>
without specifying a VLAN number to accept the current setting.
5. At the prompt, enter y to enable the IP interface, or n to leave it disabled:
Enable IP interface? [y/n]
6. The system prompts you to configure another interface:
Enter interface number: (1-128)
Repeat the steps in this section until all IP interfaces have been configured. When
all interfaces have been configured, press <Enter> without specifying any interface
number.
