Administering IP
Interfaces
An IP interface defines the relationship between a Virtual Local Area
Network (VLAN) and the subnets in the IP network. Every IP interface has
one VLAN associated with it. You must first define a VLAN, as described
in your Switch management guide, before you can define an associated
IP interface.
Interface
Characteristics
Each IP interface has the following characteristics:
■ IP Address — Choose this address from the range of addresses
assigned to your organization by the central agency. This address is
specific to your network.
■ Subnet mask — Subnet masks differentiate the network ID part of an
IP address from the host ID part. They assign the number one (1) to
bits that correspond to the network ID and zeros to bits that
correspond to the host ID. A subnet mask is a 32-bit number
expressed as four decimal numbers from 0 to 255 separated by
periods, for example, 255.255.0.0. The first two octets represent the
network ID, and the final two represent the host part of the address.
