Alteon OS Command Reference
First-Time Configuration
3943W7774, May 2007
Repeat the steps in this section until all VLANs have been configured. When all VLANs have
been configured, press <Enter> without specifying any VLAN.
Setup Part 4: IP Configuration
The system prompts for IP parameters.
IP Interfaces
IP interfaces are used for defining subnets to which the switch belongs.
Up to 128 IP interfaces can be configured on the
GbE Switch Module. 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).
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 with
to configure. To skip IP interface configuration, press <Enter> without typing an interface
number and go to “Default Gateways” on page 40.
NOTE – 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 GbE Switch Module.
2. For the specified IP interface, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation:
To keep the current setting, press <Enter>.
3. At the prompt, enter the IP subnet mask in dotted decimal notation:
IP Config:
IP interfaces:
Enter interface number: (1-128)
Current IP address: 0.0.0.0
Enter new IP address:
Current subnet mask: 0.0.0.0
Enter new subnet mask:
