Configuring IP addresses

You can add up to 24 IP addresses to each loopback interface.

NOTE

If you configure the Dellswitch to use a loopback interface to communicate with a BGP4 neighbor,

you must also configure a loopback interface on the neighbor and configure the neighbor to use that

loopback interface to communicate with theDell switch.

To add a loopback interface, enter commands such as those shown in the following example:

PowerConnect(config)# exit

PowerConnect(config)# int loopback 1

PowerConnect(config-lbif-1)# ip address 10.0.0.1/24

Syntax: interface loopback <num>

The <num> parameter specifies the virtual interface number. You can specify from 1 to the

maximum number of virtual interfaces supported on the device. To display the maximum number

of virtual interfaces supported on the device, enter the show default values command. The

maximum is listed in the System Parameters section, in the Current column of the virtual-interface

row.

Assigning an IP address to a virtual routing interface

A virtual interface is a logical port associated with a Layer 3 Virtual LAN (VLAN) configured on a

Layer 3 switch. You can configure routing parameters on the virtual interface to enable the Layer 3

switch to route protocol traffic from one Layer 3 VLAN to the other, without using an external router.

This section describes how to configure an IP address on a virtual interface.

NOTE

The switch uses the lowest MAC address on the device (the MAC address of port 1 or 1/1/1) as the

MAC address for all ports within all virtual interfaces you configure on the device.

Enter commands similar to the following to add a virtual interface to a VLAN and configure an IP

address on the interface.

PowerConnect(config)# vlan 2 name IP-Subnet_1.1.2.1/24

PowerConnect(config-vlan-2)# untag 1/1/1 to 1/1/4

PowerConnect(config-vlan-2)# router-interface ve1

PowerConnect(config-vlan-2)# interface ve1

PowerConnect(config-vif-1)# ip address 1.1.2.1/24

The first two commands in this example create a Layer 3 protocol-based VLAN name

“IP-Subnet_1.1.2.1/24” and add a range of untagged ports to the VLAN. The router-interface

command creates virtual interface 1 as the routing interface for the VLAN. The last two commands

change to the interface configuration level for the virtual interface and assign an IP address to the

interface.

Syntax: router-inter face ve <num>

Syntax: interface ve <num>

Deleting an IP address

Enter a command similar to the following to delete an IP address.

PowerConnect(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address 1.1.2.1

This command deletes IP address 1.1.2.1. You do not need to enter the subnet mask.
