IP Interfaces
IP interfaces are used for defining subnets to which the switch belongs.
Up to 128 IP interfaces can be configured on the RackSwitch G8124. The IP address assigned to
each IP interface provide the switch with an IP presence on your network. No two IP interfaces can
be on the same IP subnet. The interfaces can be used for connecting to the switch for remote
configuration, and for routing between subnets and VLANs (if used).
Note – Interfaces 127 and 128 are reserved for switch management.
1. Select the IP interface to configure, or skip interface configuration at the prompt:
If you wish to configure individual IP interfaces, enter the number of the IP interface you wish to
configure. To skip IP interface configuration, press <Enter> without typing an interface number and
go to “Default Gateways” on page 28.
Note – Because interface 128 is reserved for switch management, if you change the IP address of
IF 128, you can lose the connection to the management module. Use the management module to
change the IP address of the G8124.
