To set the switch role from the CLI, use the command masterip from
configuration mode. If this is configured as 127.0.0.1, the switch is a master. If
this is configured as any other value, the switch becomes a local switch.
Configuring the Switch/Loopback IP Address
The switch IP address is used for different administrative purposes, such as
terminating VPN tunnels, terminating GRE tunnels, originating RADIUS
requests, and accepting administrative communication. The switch IP address
is typically configured through the initial setup dialog, and may be set in two
different ways:
If a loopback address is configured in the switch, the loopback address will be
used as the switch IP address. A loopback address is not bound to any specific
interface and is operational at all times. The loopback address is always
configured as a host address, with a 32-bit netmask (255.255.255.255) and
should be routable from all external networks.
If a loopback address is not configured, the IP address of VLAN 1 will be used
as the switch IP address. Note that if the VLAN 1 address is used as the switch
address, all GRE tunnels, RADIUS requests, etc. will fail in the event that VLAN
1 goes down.
To set the loopback IP address through the GUI, navigate to
Configuration >
Switch > General
as shown in the figure below.
