numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be
accepted by the CLI program.
Command Usage
• This section describes how to configure a single local interface for initial access to
the stack. To configure multiple IP interfaces on this stack, you must set up an IP
interface for each VLAN (page 19-4).
• To enable routing between the different interfaces on this stack, you must enable
IP routing (page 19-4).
• To enable routing between the interfaces defined on this stack and external
network interfaces, you must configure static routes (page 19-21) or use dynamic
routing; i.e., either RIP or OSPF (page 20-2 and page 20-14, respectively).
• The precedence for configuring IP interfaces is the IP / General / Routing Interface
menu (page 19-5), static routes (page 19-21), and then dynamic routing.
Command Attributes
• VLAN – ID of the configured VLAN (1-4093). By default, all ports on the stack are
members of VLAN 1. However, the management station can be attached to a port
belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN has been assigned an IP address.
• IP Address Mode – Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual
configuration (Static), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or Boot
Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, IP will not function until a reply has
been received from the server. Requests will be broadcast periodically by the
switch for an IP address. (DHCP/BOOTP values can include the IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway.)
• IP Address – Address of the VLAN to which the management station is attached.
(Note that you can manage the stack through any configured IP interface.) Valid IP
addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.
(Default: 0.0.0.0)
• Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to
specific subnets. (Default: 255.0.0.0)
• Gateway IP Address – IP address of the gateway router between the stack and
management stations that exist on other network segments. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
• MAC Address – The physical layer address for this switch.
