Parameter

Description

 

IP Address

The IP address associated with the specified VLAN interface. By

 

 

convention, the last three digits should be set to “254” to readily

 

 

distinguish this device as a router port.

 

Subnet Mask

A template that identifies the address bits in the host address used for

 

 

routing to specific subnets. Each bit that corresponds to a “1” is part of

 

 

the network / subnet number and each bit that corresponds to “0” is part

 

 

of the host number.

 

VLAN

The VLAN associated with this IP interface.

 

Proxy ARP

Enables or disables Proxy ARP for the interface. This feature allows the

 

 

switch forward an ARP request from a node in the attached subnetwork

 

 

(that does not have routing or a default gateway configured) to a remote

 

 

subnetwork. (See “Proxy ARP” on chapter 4.)

 

 

Note that Proxy ARP must be enabled globally for the switch before this

 

 

setting can take effect. (See “Protocol Configuration” on chapter 3.)

 

RIP

Routing Information Protocol for unicast routing.

 

OSPF

Open Shortest Path First unicast routing protocol.

 

DVMRP

Distance-Vector Multicast Routing Protocol.
