Tip:
Tip: If the IP interface is on VLAN #1, continue with Step 7.
6. Create the management/routing VLAN. Use the command
set vlan <Vlan-id> name <Vlan-name> replacing <Vlan-id> by the VLAN number,
and <Vlan-name> by the VLAN name. Press Enter.
7. Create an IP interface name. Type:
Router(configure)# interface <interface-name>
Press Enter.
The Router(configure-if:<interface-name>)# prompt appears.
8. Assign the IP address and network mask of the IP interface you have created. Use the
command:
Router(configure-if:<interface-name>)# ip address <ip-address>
<netmask>
Press Enter
9. Assign a vlan to the IP interface you have created. Type: Assign a vlan to the IP interface
you have created. Type:
Router(configure)# interface <interface-name># ip vlan <vland-id>
Press Enter.
10. Type exit and press Enter. This returns you to the prompt: Router(configure)#
11. If the management station is not on the same subnet as the switch, configure a default
gateway (static route). Use the command:
ip default-gateway <ip-address> and press Enter, replacing
<ip-address> with the IP address of the default gateway.
12. Save the configuration changes by typing copy running-config startup-config
and press Enter.
RIP (Routing Interchange Protocol) Configuration
RIP Overview
RIP is a "distance vector protocol"- that is, the router decides which path to use on distance (the
number of intermediate hops). In order for this protocol to work correctly, all of the routers (and
possibly the nodes) need to gather information on how to reach each destination in the Internet.
The very simplicity of RIP has a disadvantage, however: it does not take into account the
network bandwidth, physical cost, data priority, and so on.
The C360 supports the widely used RIP routing protocol (both RIPv1 and RIPv2). The RIPv1
protocol imposes some limitations on the network design with regard to subnetting. When
