Configuring the Default VLAN on E350/450/650GX

On Equalizer models E350GX and above, the Equalizer's Default VLAN (VLAN 1) Interface is configured first,
and additional network configuration is performed by logging into the graphical Administrative Interface. To
configure the Default VLAN (including the Equalizer's hostname, default gateway, and DNS), follow these steps.
See "Equalizer E350GX, E450GX, E650GX Network Configuration" on page 32 for an overview of the network
configurations supported on the E350GX and higher models.
Note – The Gateway that you assign on this screen is the default gateway for all outbound packets whose
destination address is not on a configured VLAN. In this release, it is not possible to assign a default gateway IP
for each VLAN. Instead, you will need to create static routes either on Equalizer, on the next-hop router for a
VLAN, or both, in order to ensure that traffic is routed properly in your configuration.
