IP interface configuration

The switch can be configured with up to 256 IP interfaces. Each IP interface represents the switch on an IP subnet on your network. The IP Interface option is disabled by default. Interface 256 is reserved for switch management.

The following table describes the IP Interface Configuration commands.

Table 91 IP Interface Configuration commands

Command

Description

interface ip {<1-256>}

Enter IP interface mode.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

ip address {<IP address>}{<IP

Configures the IP address and mask of the switch interface

netmask>}

using dotted decimal notation.

 

Command mode: Interface IP

vlan {<1-4095>}

Configures the VLAN number for this interface. Each interface

 

can belong to one VLAN, though any VLAN can have multiple

 

IP interfaces in it.

 

Command mode: Interface IP

enable

Enables this IP interface.

 

Command mode: Interface IP

no enable

Disables this IP interface.

 

Command mode: Interface IP

no interface ip {<1-256>}

Removes this IP interface.

 

Command mode: Interface IP

show interface ip {<1-256>}

Displays the current interface settings.

 

Command mode: All

 

 

 

NOTE: If you enter an IP address for interface 1, you are prompted to change the BOOTP setting.

Default Gateway configuration

The switch supports up to four gateways. By default, no gateways are configured on the switch. Enter 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the command as the <gateway instance>, depending upon which gateway you want to configure. Gateway 4 is reserved for switch management.

The following table describes the Default IP Gateway Configuration commands.

Table 92 Default IP Gateway Configuration commands

Command

Description

ip gateway {<1-4>} address

Configures the IP address of the default IP gateway using dotted

{<IP address>}

decimal notation.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

ip gateway {<1-4>} interval {<0-60>}

The switch pings the default gateway to verify that it is up. This option sets the time between health checks. The range is from 0 to 60 seconds. The default is 2 seconds.

Command mode: Global configuration

ip gateway {<1-4>} retry {<1- 120>}

Sets the number of failed health check attempts required before declaring this default gateway inoperative. The range is from 1 to 120 attempts. The default is 8 attempts.

Command mode: Global configuration

[no] ip gateway {<1-4>} arp-

Enables or disables Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) health checks.

health-check

This command is disabled by default.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

ip gateway {<1-4>} enable

Enables the gateway for use.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

no ip gateway {<1-4>} enable

Disables the gateway.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

no ip gateway {<1-4>}

Deletes the gateway from the configuration.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

show ip gateway {<1-4>}

Displays the current gateway settings.

 

Command mode: All except User EXEC
