Layer 3 IP Networking
This section describes how to configure:
• IP Interfaces
• RIP
• Multicast routing protocols
Setting Up IP Interfaces
Each IP interface on the switch corresponds to a VLAN. A VLAN, which does not have a
corresponding IP interface defined for it, will function as a Layer 2-only VLAN.
The switch allows ranges of IP addresses (OSI Layer 3) to be assigned to VLANs (OSI Layer 2).
Each VLAN must be configured prior to setting up the corresponding IP interface.
To set up IP Interfaces on the switch
1. From the Main Menu, select Layer 3 - IP Networking Setup | IP Interface Settings and
press
Enter.
2. Toggle the Action field to
Add/Modify.
3. Configure these fields.
4. Highlight
APPLY and press Enter.
The Action field can be toggled between
Add/Modify and Delete using the space bar. This enables
the addition/modification of a new or existing IP interface entry or the deletion of an existing entry.
If you modify an existing IP interface and apply the changes, the RIP and IP multicast interface
configurations are reset to default values.
RIP Configuration
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance-vector protocol that uses the hop count as its
criteria for making routing decisions. RIP is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), which means that
it performs routing within a single autonomous system.
Field Description
Interface Name
Specifies the name of the IP interface. The interface name for the “default”
VLAN is System.
IP Address Specifies the IP address of the IP interface.
Subnet Mask Specifies the subnet mask for the IP address.
VLAN Name
Specifies the VLAN that is assigned to this IP interface. This VLAN must
already exist. The IP interface gets its port membership from the VLAN.
State Enables or disables the IP interface.
