CHAPTER 5

Initial Setup Example

This chapter shows how to set up the switch for an example network.

5.1 Overview

The following lists the configuration steps for the example network:

•Configure an IP interface

•Configure DHCP server settings

•Create a VLAN

•Set port VLAN ID

•Enable RIP

5.1.1Configuring an IP Interface

On a layer-3 switch, an IP interface (also known as an IP routing domain) is not bound to a physical port. The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

In the example network, since the RD network is already in the same IP interface as the switch, you don’t need to create an IP interface for it. However, if you want to have the Sales network on a different routing domain, you need to create a new IP interface. This allows the switch to route traffic between the RD and Sales networks.

1Connect your computer to the MGMT port that is used only for management. Make sure your computer is in the same subnet as the MGMT port.
