Chapter 4: Basic device configuration

Basic device configuration lets you:
Define a new interface and its IP address
●
Configure parameters that identify the G250/G350 to other devices
●
Define a G250/G350 interface as the G250/G350's default gateway
●
Configure an MGC to work with the G250/G350
●
Configure DNS resolver for resolving hostnames to IP addresses
●
View the status of the G250/G350
●
Manage and upgrade software, firmware, configuration, and other files on the G250/G350
●
Backup and restore the G250/G350

Defining an interface

All interfaces on the G250 and G350 must be defined by the administrator, after installation of
the G250/G350.
1. Use the interface command to enter the interface context. Some types of interfaces
require an identifier as a parameter. Other types of interfaces require the interface's
module and port number as a parameter. For example:
interface vlan 1
interface serial 3/1
interface fastethernet 10/2.0
For more information on the various types of interfaces, see
page 488.
2. Use the ip address command, followed by an IP address and subnet mask, to assign
an IP address to the interface.
3. Use the load-interval command to set the load calculation interval for the interface.
For a list and descriptions of other interface configuration commands, see
interfaces on page 487. For interface configuration examples, see
page 300.
