ONFIGURING THE
• Before you configure any network interfaces on this router, you should
first create a VLAN for each unique user group, or for each network
application and its associated users. Then assign the ports associated with
each of these VLANs.
Command Attributes
• VLAN ID – ID of configured VLAN (1-4094, no leading zeroes).
• IP Address Mode – Specifies whether the IP address for this interface
is statically assigned, or obtained from a network address server.
(Options: Static, DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol,
BOOTP - Boot Protocol; Default: Static)
- If Static address type is selected, then you must also specify whether
the IP address is the primary IP address on the VLAN or a secondary
IP address. An interface can have only one primary IP address, but can
have multiple secondary IP addresses. In other words, you will need to
specify secondary addresses if more than one IP subnet can accessed
via this interface.
- If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, IP will not function until a reply has
been received from the address server. Requests will be broadcast
periodically by the router for an IP address. (DHCP/BOOTP values
include the IP address and subnet mask.)
• IP Address – Address of the VLAN interface. Valid IP addresses consist
of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.
• Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for
routing to specific subnets.
