Use this menu 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). You also need to define a VLAN for each IP subnet connected directly to this switch. Note that you must first create a VLAN as described under “5.7.3 Configuring Virtual LANs” before configuring the corresponding subnet.
Parameter | Description |
IP Address | The IP address associated with the specified VLAN interface. In general, it is the |
| router IP address for the specified VLAN members. |
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 “6.2.5 Proxy ARP”) |
| Note that Proxy ARP must be enabled globally for the switch before this setting can |
| take effect. (See “5.7.5.2 Protocol Configuration”.) |
RIP | Routing Information Protocol for unicast routing. |
OSPF | Open Shortest Path First unicast routing protocol. |
