Configuring an Interface with an IP Address
To assign an IP address to an interface, use the following commands:
IP configuration takes precedence over VLAN configuration on a port. Therefore, configuring an IP
Address and ‘routing’ on an interface disables participation in VLANs on that interface.
Using the Show IP Interface Command
Use the show ip interface command to display information about a particular IP interface:
Figure 3-15. Using the show ip interface Command
Note: You must have the optional SFTOS Layer 3 Package installed to configure routing
commands and to set IP addressing an interface. Use the show version command (see
Figure 3-8 on page 35) to determine what software is installed.
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
ip routing Global Config Enables routing for the switch.
ip address Interface Config Configures an IP address on an interface. The IP
address may be a secondary IP address.
Note: You must configure ip routing at a global level, AND ‘routing’ at an interface level for you to
be able to ping from, and to, the address.
Note: To configure the management interface with an IP address, see Setting the Management IP
Address on page 39.
