9-6 CHAPTER 9: ADMINISTERING IP ROUTING
Defining an IP
VLAN Interface
When you define an IP VLAN interface, you specify several interface
characteristics, as well as the index of the VLAN associated with the
interface.
You must first define a VLAN, as described in Chapter 8, Administering VLANs,
before you define an associated IP VLAN interface.
To define an IP VLAN interface:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip interface define
The Console prompts you for the interface’s parameters. To use the value in
brackets, press [Return] at the prompt.
2 Enter the IP address of the interface.
3 Enter the subnet mask of the network to which the interface is to be
connected.
4 Enter the cost value of the interface.
5 Enter the type of IP interface: VLAN.
6 Enter the advertisement address for this interface.
7 Enter the index of the VLAN associated with the interface.
Example:
Enter IP address: 158.101.1.1
Enter subnet mask [255.255.0.0]: 255.255.255.0
Enter cost [1]:
Enter interface type (vlan, lis) [vlan]:
Enter advertisement address(es) [158.101.1.255]:
IP VLANs:

Select VLAN index: 3
If you physically change the configuration of your system after defining IP
interfaces, the ports designated for those interfaces might no longer be valid
and you might want to reconfigure your interfaces.
