Default Gateways

1.At the prompt, select an IP default gateway for configuration, or skip default gateway configuration:

IP default gateways:

Enter default gateway number: (1-4)

Enter the number for the IP default gateway to be configured. To skip default gateway configuration, press <Enter> without typing a gateway number and go to “IP Routing” on page 49.

2.At the prompt, enter the IPv4 address for the selected default gateway:

Current IP address: 0.0.0.0

Enter new IP address:

Enter the IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation, or press <Enter> without specifying an address to accept the current setting.

3.At the prompt, enter y to enable the default gateway, or n to leave it disabled:

Enable default gateway? [y/n]

4.The system prompts you to configure another default gateway:

Enter default gateway number: (1-4)

Repeat the steps in this section until all default gateways have been configured. When all default gateways have been configured, press <Enter> without specifying any number.

IP Routing

When IP interfaces are configured for the various IP subnets attached to your switch, IP routing between them can be performed entirely within the switch. This eliminates the need to send inter-subnet communication to an external router device. Routing on more complex networks, where subnets may not have a direct presence on the G8124, can be accomplished through configuring static routes or by letting the switch learn routes dynamically.

This part of the Setup program prompts you to configure the various routing parameters.

At the prompt, enable or disable forwarding for IP Routing:

Enable IP forwarding? [y/n]

Enter y to enable IP forwarding. To disable IP forwarding, enter n. To keep the current setting, press <Enter>.
