IP interface parameters – Layer 3 Switches
Description
The Internet Protocol, version 4
A Layer 3 network interface address
NOTE: Layer 2 Switches have a single IP address
used for management access to the entire
device. Layer 3 Switches have separate IP
addresses on individual interfaces.
The format of the packets in which the router
encapsulates IP datagrams. The encapsulation
format can be one of the following:
•
Ethernet II
•
SNAP
The maximum length (number of bytes) of an
encapsulated IP datagram the router can forward.
Locally overrides the global setting. Refer to
Table 144 on page 793.
A numeric cost the router adds to RIP routes
learned on the interface. This parameter applies
only to RIP routes.
Locally overrides the global setting. Refer to
Table 144 on page 793.
Locally overrides the global IRDP settings. Refer to
Table 144 on page 793.
The router can assist DHCP/BootP Discovery
packets from one subnet to reach DHCP/BootP
servers on a different subnet by placing the IP
address of the router interface that receives the
request in the request packet Gateway field.
You can override the default and specify the IP
address to use for the Gateway field in the
packets.
NOTE: UDP broadcast forwarding for client
DHCP/BootP requests (bootps) must be
enabled (this is enabled by default) and
you must configure an IP helper address
(the server IP address or a directed
broadcast to the server subnet) on the port
connected to the client.
Allows the switch to obtain IP addresses from a
DHCP host automatically, for either a specified
(leased) or infinite period of time.
Default
Enabled
NOTE: You cannot
disable IP.
