Configuring the system IP address
You can designate one of the IP addresses configured on a WSS to be the system IP address of the switch. The
system IP address determines the interface or source IP address WSS Software uses for system tasks,
including the following:
Mobility Domain operations
Topology reporting for dual-homed APs
Default source IP address used in unsolicited communications such as AAA accounting reports and
SNMP traps
Designating the system IP address
To designate the system IP address, use the following command:
set system ip-address ip-addr
Displaying the system IP address
To display the system IP address, use the following command.
show system
Clearing the system IP address
To clear the system IP address, use the following command:
clear system ip-address
Configuring and managing IP routes
The IP route table contains routes that WSS Software uses for determining the interfaces for a WSS’s external
communications. When you add an IP interface to a VLAN that is up, WSS Software automatically adds
corresponding entries to the IP route table.
For destination routes that are not directly attached, you can add static routes. A static route specifies the desti-
nation and the default router through which to forward traffic.You can add the following types of static routes:
Explicit route—Forwarding path for traffic to a specific destination
Caution! Clearing the system IP address disrupts the features that use the address.
