Quick Start Manual

Installing the Software 17
After you enable and connect ports in the management VLAN and configure the
management IP address, as described above, you can manage the switch through
a variety of means.
Configuring an Interface with an IP Address
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 to determine what software is installed.
To assign an IP address to an interface, use the following commands:
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.
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.
Configure a Management Route
On first startup, you have management access only through the console port. If
you want to manage the switch through an IP-based access method (Telnet,
SSH, SNMP, TFTP, etc.), you must configure a management IP interface, using
the following the procedure.
