Configuration Guide

or telnet, you need to configure an IP address for the remote switch and ensure

 

that the local device and the remote switch are reachable to each other.

 

A 32-bit IP address identifies a host on the Internet. Generally, a VLAN interface on

 

a switch is configured with one primary and four secondary IP addresses.
