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

RIP Routing Information Protocol for unicast routing.
OSPF Open Shortest Path First unicast routing protocol.
DVMRP Distance-Vector Multicast Routing Protocol.
