Command Usage
If this router is directly connected to end node devices (or connected to
end nodes via shared media) that will be assigned to a specific subnet,
then you must create a router interface for each VLAN that will support
routing. The router interface consists of an IP address and subnet mask.
This interface address defines both the network number to which the
router interface is attached and the router’s host number on that
network. In other words, a router interface address defines the network
and subnetwork numbers of the segment that is connected to that
interface, and allows you to send IP packets to or from the router.
Before you configure any network interfaces on this router, you should
first create a VLAN for each unique user group, or for each network
application and its associated users. Then assign the ports associated with
each of these VLANs.
You must assign an IP address to this device to gain management access
over the network or to connect the router to existing IP subnets. You can
manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to obtain
