Command Usage

•If this router is directly connected to end node devices (or connected to end nodes via shared media) that will be assigned to a specific subnet, then you must create a router interface for each VLAN that will support routing. The router interface consists of an IP address and subnet mask. This interface address defines both the network number to which the router interface is attached and the router’s host number on that network. In other words, a router interface address defines the network and subnetwork numbers of the segment that is connected to that interface, and allows you to send IP packets to or from the router.

•Before you configure any network interfaces on this router, you should first create a VLAN for each unique user group, or for each network application and its associated users. Then assign the ports associated with each of these VLANs.

•You must assign an IP address to this device to gain management access over the network or to connect the router to existing IP subnets.
