Configuring the static IP address and the default gateway.
•
Configuring the SNMP read/write access and community strings.
Before applying the initial configuration procedure to the Ethernet Switch Module, the following
information must be obtained from the network administrator:
•
The IP address to be assigned to a VLAN through which the Ethernet Switch Module is
managed.
•
The IP subnet mask for the network.
•
The default gateway IP address.
•
The SNMP community.
Static IP Address and Subnet Mask
An IP address can be configured on any interface, including a VLAN, a LAG, and a physical port.
After entering the configuration command, it is recommended to check if a port was configured
with the IP address by entering the show ip interface command.
Important: If an IP address is configured on a LAG or physical port (ex. g11), that interface is
removed from VLAN 1.
Static Default Gateway
To manage the device from a remote network a static route must be configured, which is an IP
address to where packets are sent when no entries are found in the device tables. The configured IP
address must belong to the same subnet as one of the device IP interfaces.
Assigning Static IP Addresses on a Default VLAN
NOTE:
This example uses the following assumptions:
•
Username admin with password secret and privilege level 15
•
The IP address to be assigned to the PowerConnect VLAN interface is 192.168.1.123
•
The IP subnet mask for the network is 255.255.255.0
•
The IP address of the default VLAN is 192.168.1.1
•
The read/write SNMP community string is private
