4. Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the VLAN. Refer to
“Configuring a Static Route for the PPP Console”, earlier in
this chapter.
5. Specify how the router will communicate with other routers.
Refer to “Configuring a Static Route for the PPP Console”,
earlier in this chapter, to configure OSPF and RIP parameters.
Assigning IP Interfaces to the VLAN
After you have set up a VLAN and enabled IP Routing, you must
create the IP interface that your VLAN and your subnet uses to
communicate with each other. After creating the IP interface, you
must assign it to the VLAN. If you need to create a new VLAN, refer
to “Creating and Implementing VLANs in Chapter 4.
To create a new IP interface and assign it to a VLAN:
1. Select Interfaces from the Routing > IP > Configuration group
on the web agent window. The IP Interfaces dialog box opens
(Figure9-1).
2. Refer to Table9-1 to configure the IP interfaces dialog box
parameters:
3. Click CREATE. The Add IP Interface dialog box opens
(Figure9-2).
4. Refer to Table9-2 to configure the Add IP interface dialog box
parameters.
5. Click CREATE to save changes, or CANCEL to restore
previous settings.
* Note: Routing is not supported on the serial interface. Do not
configure Routing/Mgmt on serial IP interfaces.
IP Multinetting You can set up a configuration of multiple subnets on a single VLAN,
on the switches. This is also referred to as IP Multinetting. A
network is said to be multinetted (Figure9-4) when multiple logical
groups of computers are brought together within a single broadcast
domain. To create a multinetted network, you must assign multiple
subnets to a VLAN.
