Defining an Interface
When you define an interface, you define the interface's IP address, subnet
mask, broadcast address, cost, and the collection of system ports associated
with the interface.
Table 3-1 shows the recommended settings for the IP interface parameters
if you are setting up the system for management.

Ports
Defining an interface defines the IP broadcast domain for frames sourced
from the attached segment. To avoid unintentional filtering of IP broadcasts,
3Com recommends that you include all ports. If you do not assign all ports
to this interface, be sure that you include the port to which your network
management station is attached.
To define an IP interface:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip interface define
You are prompted for the interface's parameters. To use the value in
brackets, press [Return] at the prompt.
2 Enter the IP address of the interface.
