Configuring the System IP Address

Designating the System IP Address

Displaying the System IP Address

Clearing the System IP Address

You can designate one of the IP addresses configured on a WX switch to be the system IP address of the switch. The system IP address determines the interface or source IP address MSS uses for system tasks, including the following:

„Mobility Domain operations

„Topology reporting for dual-homed MAPs

„Default source IP address used in unsolicited communications such as AAA accounting reports and SNMP traps

To designate the system IP address, use the following command:

set system ip-address ip-addr

To display the system IP address, use the following command.

display system

To clear the system IP address, use the following command:

clear system ip-address

CAUTION: Clearing the system IP address disrupts the features that use the address.

Configuring and The IP route table contains routes that MSS uses for determining the Managing IP Routes interfaces for a WX switch’s external communications. When you add an

IP interface to a VLAN that is up, MSS 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 destination 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

„Default route — Forwarding path for traffic to a destination without an explicit route in the route table
