Configuring IP
4
Assign an active port to VLAN 2 using the vlan port default command. For example, the following
command assigns port 2 on slot 1 to VLAN 2:
-> vlan 2 port default 1/2
5
Create an IP router port on VLAN 1 using the
-> vlan 1 router ip 171.10.1.1
6
Create an IP router port on VLAN 2 using the vlan router ip command. For example:
-> vlan 2 router ip 171.11.1.1
Note. For information on creating VLANs and VLAN router ports, see
IP Overview
IP is a network-layer (Layer 3) protocol that contains addressing and control information that enables
packets to be forwarded on a network. IP is the primary network-layer protocol in the Internet protocol
suite. Along with TCP, IP represents the heart of the Internet protocols.
IP Protocols
IP is associated with several Layer 3 and Layer 4 protocols. These protocols are built into the base code
loaded on the switch. A brief overview of supported IP protocols is included below.
Transport Protocols
IP is both connectionless (it forwards each datagram separately) and unreliable (it does not guarantee
delivery of datagrams). This means that a datagram may be damaged in transit, or thrown away by a busy
switch, or simply never make it to its destination. The resolution of these transit problems is to use a Layer
4 transport protocol, such as:
TCP—A major data transport mechanism that provides reliable, connection-oriented, full-duplex data
•
streams. While the role of TCP is to add reliability to IP, TCP relies upon IP to do the actual deliver-
ing of datagrams.
UDP—A secondary transport-layer protocol that uses IP for delivery. UDP is not connection-oriented
•
and does not provide reliable end-to-end delivery of datagrams. But some applications can safely use
UDP to send datagrams that do not require the extra overhead added by TCP. For more information on
UDP, see
