Setup Part 4: IP Configuration

The system prompts for IPv4 parameters.

Although the switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks, the Setup utility permits only IPv4 configuration. For IPv6 configuration, see “Internet Protocol Version 6” on page 229.

IP Interfaces

IP interfaces are used for defining the networks to which the switch belongs.

Up to 128 IP interfaces can be configured on the RackSwitch G8124 (G8124). The IP address assigned to each IP interface provides the switch with an IP presence on your network. No two IP interfaces can be on the same IP network. The interfaces can be used for connecting to the switch for remote configuration, and for routing between subnets and VLANs (if used).

Note – Two interfaces are reserved for IPv4 management: interface 127 (MGTA) and 128 (MGTB).

If the IPv6 feature is enabled, two additional interfaces are reserved to IPv6 management: interface

125(MGTA) and 126 (MGTB).

1.Select the IP interface to configure, or skip interface configuration at the prompt:

IP Config:

IP interfaces:

Enter interface number: (1-128)

If you wish to configure individual IP interfaces, enter the number of the IP interface you wish to configure. To skip IP interface configuration, press <Enter> without typing an interface number and go to “Default Gateways” on page 49.

2.For the specified IP interface, enter the IP address in IPv4 dotted decimal notation:

Current IP address: 0.0.0.0

Enter new IP address:

To keep the current setting, press <Enter>.

3.At the prompt, enter the IPv4 subnet mask in dotted decimal notation:

Current subnet mask:

0.0.0.0

Enter new subnet mask:

 

 

 

To keep the current setting, press <Enter>.
