Nortel Networks 4050 manual Cfg/sys/host #/interface interface ID followed by, Vlanid tag, Mode

470Chapter 10 Configuring system settings

/cfg/sys/host #/interface <interface ID> followed by:

gateway <IPaddr>	Sets the default gateway address for the interface. The
	default gateway is the IP address of the interface on the
	core router that will be used for management traffic
	(such as requests to private authentication servers and
	DNS servers).
	The default gateway will be used only for Nortel
	SNAS 4050 domains that point to this interface
	(/cfg/domain 1/adv/interface command on
	page 145). If no domain points to this interface, the
	specified gateway will be ignored.
routes	Accesses the Host Routes menu, in order to manage
	static routes for the Nortel SNAS 4050 when there is
	more than one interface (see “Configuring static routes
	using the CLI” on page 471).
vlanid <tag>	Specifies the VLAN tag if packets received by the
	interface are tagged with a specific VLAN tag ID.
mode	Specifies the mode of operation for the port numbers
failovertrunking	assigned to this interface. The options are:
	• failover — only one link is active at any given
	time. If the port with an active link fails, the active
	link is immediately switched over to one of the other
	ports configured for the interface. When you select
	failover mode, you also have the option of
	specifying a primary port (see /cfg/sys/
	host #/interface #/primary).
	• trunking — active links are sustained on all
	configured ports simultaneously, in order to
	increase network throughput.
	The default is failover.
ports	Accesses the Interface Ports menu, in order to
	manage ports for the interface (see “Managing
	interface ports using the CLI” on page 473).
