Chapter 12 Avaya P330 Layer 3 Features

Note: If the IP interface is on VLAN #1, continue with step 7.

6Create the management/routing VLAN. Use the command

set vlan <Vlan-id>name <Vlan-name>replacing <Vlan-id>by the VLAN number, and <Vlan-name>by the VLAN name. Press Enter.

7Create an IP interface name. Type:

Router(configure)# interface <interface-name>

Press Enter.

The Router(configure-if:<interface-name>)# prompt appears.

8Assign the IP address and network mask of the IP interface you have created. Use the command:

Router(configure-if:<interface-name>)# ip address <ip- address> <netmask>

Press Enter

9Assign a vlan to the IP interface you have created. Type: Assign a vlan to the IP interface you have created. Type:

Router(configure)# interface <interface-name># ip vlan <vland-id>

Press Enter.

10Type exit and press Enter. This returns you to the prompt:

Router(configure)#

11If the management station is not on the same subnet as the switch, configure a default gateway (static route). Use the command:

ip default-gateway<ip-address>and press Enter, replacing <ip-address>with the IP address of the default gateway.

12Save the configuration changes by typing copy running-configstartup-configand press Enter.
