Configuring an IP Interface
To manage the switch using Telnet, SNMP, or a Web browser, you must configure an IP interface.
Configure the following IP parameters:
 IP address
 Subnet mask
 Gateway address
1. Log on to the switch.
2. Enter Global Configuration mode.
3. Configure the management IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
Once you configure the IP address for your switch, you can connect to management port A and use
the Telnet program from an external management station to access and control the switch. The
management station and your switch must be on the same IP subnet.
The G8124 supports a command-line interface (CLI) that you can use to configure and control the
switch using Telnet. You can use the CLI to perform many basic network management functions. In
addition, you can configure the switch for management using an SNMP-based network
management system or a Web browser.
For more information about using the CLI, refer to the BLADE OS Command Reference for your
RackSwitch G8124.
