Configuring Layer 2
The IP address and default gateway can be either dynamically or statically configured. In Layer 2, a
static IP address is configured on the VLAN Management Properties Page. The Management VLAN is
set to VLAN 100 by default, but can be modified.
When the system is in stacking mode with a Backup Master present, configure the IP address as a static
address. This prevents disconnecting from the network during a Stacking Master switchover.
This section provides information for configuring Layer 2 features, and includes the following topics:
• Configuring IP Addressing
• Defining IP Routing
Configuring IP Addressing:
The IP Addressing subsection contains the following pages:
• IP Interface
•ARP
IP Interface
