Subnet Configuration

The Subnet Configuration screen allows you to specify an IP interface for any VLAN configured on this Switch that needs to communicate with a device outside of its own group (that is, another network segment).

IP Address - The IP address associated with the specified VLAN inter- face. 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.

RIP - Routing Information Protocol for unicast routing.

DVMRP - Distance-Vector Multicast Routing Protocol.
