Broadcast Address

The system uses the IP address when it broadcasts packets to other stations
on the same subnet. In particular, the system uses this address for sending
RIP updates. By default, the system uses a directed broadcast (all 1s in
the host field).
Cost
The system uses this number, between 1 and 15, when calculating route
metrics. Unless your network has special requirements, you should assign a
cost of 1 to all interfaces.
Ports
A single interface might contain several bridge ports. All of the ports
corresponding to one interface share the same IP address, subnet mask,
broadcast address, and cost. The Switch 2200 contains 17 ports: 1 FDDI
and 16 Ethernet.
Be sure that the port to which your management station is attached is
included in an interface.

Displaying Interfaces

You can display a table that shows all IP interfaces configured for the
system, including their parameter settings.
To display IP interface information, enter the following command from the
Administration Console top-level menu:
ip interface display
As shown in this example, the current configuration is displayed.
It contains IP forwarding and RIP information as well as the IP interface
information.
