Chapter 3: IP Routing Configuration Guide

Configuring IP Interfaces and Parameters

This section provides an overview of configuring various IP parameters and setting up IP interfaces.

Configure IP Addresses to Ports

You can configure one IP interface directly to physical ports. Each port can be assigned multiple IP addresses representing multiple subnets connected to the physical port.

To configure an IP interface to a port, enter one of the following commands in Configure mode.

Configure an IP interface to a

interface

create ip <InterfaceName>

physical port.

address-mask<ipAddr-mask> port <port>

 

 

 

Configure a secondary address to

interface

add ip <InterfaceName>

an existing IP interface.

address-netmask <ipAddr-mask>

 

[broadcast <ipaddr>]

 

 

 

Configure IP Interfaces for a VLAN

You can configure one IP interface per VLAN. Once an IP interface has been assigned to a VLAN, you can add a secondary IP addresses to the VLAN.

To configure a VLAN with an IP interface, enter the following command in Configure mode:

Create an IP interface for a VLAN.

interface

create ip <InterfaceName>

 

address-mask<ipAddr-mask> vlan <name>

 

 

 

Configure a secondary address to

interface

add ip <InterfaceName>

an existing VLAN.

address-netmask <ipAddr-mask>

 

vlan <name>

 

 

 

Specify Ethernet Encapsulation Method

The SmartSwitch Router supports two encapsulation types for IP. You can configure encapsulation type on a per-interface basis.

Ethernet II: The standard ARPA Ethernet Version 2.0 encapsulation, which uses a 16- bit protocol type code (the default encapsulation method)
