IP ADDRESS CONFIGURATION GUIDE
IP Address
Configuration Guide
If you want to manage a remote Ethernet switch through network management
or telnet, you need to configure an IP address for the remote switch and ensure
that the local device and the remote switch are reachable to each other.
A 32-bit IP address identifies a host on the Internet. Generally, a VLAN interface on
a switch is configured with one primary and four secondary IP addresses.

Requirements
As shown in the above figure, the port in VLAN 1 on Switch is connected to a LAN
in which hosts belong to two network segments: 172.16.1.0/24 and
172.16.2.0/24. It is required to enable the hosts in the LAN to communicate with
external networks through Switch, and to enable the hosts in the two network
segments to communicate with each other.
