Important Consideration; Defining An Ip Interface - 3Com 4007 Implementation Manual

Layer 3 module prompts you for this option, the menu identifies the
available VLAN indexes.

Important Consideration

Consider the following issue before you establish an IP interface:
Before you assign IP addresses, map out the entire network and
subnetwork IP addressing scheme. Plan for future expansion of
address numbers as well.
The
ip interface define
(out-of-band) options are documented in the Command
define
Reference Guide. To learn how to use the Web Management Console to
set up IP interfaces, see the Switch 4007 Getting Started Guide.

Defining an IP Interface

After you determine the VLAN index, IP address, and subnet mask for
each IP interface, you can define each interface. Use the Administration
Console or the Web Management Console to define an IP interface.
Remember that you must define a VLAN and select IP as a protocol that
the VLAN supports before you define the IP (routing) interface. VLANs are
described in Chapter 14.
To define your IP interface, decide if and how to implement the following
IP features:
ARP proxy
ICMP Redirect
ICMP Router Discovery
Broadcast address
Directed broadcast
RIP
Routing policies
DNS
UDP Helper
These features are discussed later in this chapter.
