Alcatel-Lucent AOS-W 6.5.3.x - Configuring Static Routes; Configuring the Loopback IP Address

12.Click Apply.
In the CLI
Use the following examples:
(host)(config) #interface fastethernet <slot/module/port>
(host)(config-if)#description <string>
(host)(config-if)#trusted {vlan <word>}
(host)(config-range)#switchport mode trunk
(host)(config-if)#switchport trunk native vlan <vlan>
(host)(config-range)#ip access-group
(host)(config-range)#ip access-group test session vlan <vlan>
Configuring Static Routes
To configure a static route (such as a default route) on the switch, do the following:
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Network > IP > IP Routes page.
2. Click Add to add a static route to a destination network or host. Enter the destination IP address and
network mask (255.255.255.255 for a host route) and the next hop IP address.
3. Click Done to add the entry. Note that the route has not yet been added to the routing table.
4. Click Apply .. The message Configuration Updated Successfully confirms that the route has been
added.
In the CLI
Use the following examples:
(host)(config) #ip route <address> <netmask> <next_hop>
Configuring the Loopback IP Address
The loopback IP address is a logical IP interface that is used by the switch to communicate with APs. The
loopback address is used as the switch’s IP address for terminating VPN and GRE tunnels, originating requests
to RADIUS servers, and accepting administrative communications. You configure the loopback address as a
host address with a 32-bit netmask. The loopback address is not bound to any specific interface and is
operational at all times. To use this interface, ensure that the IP address is reachable through one of the VLAN
interfaces. It will be routable from all external networks.
You must configure a loopback address if you are not using VLAN1 to connect the switch to the network. If you
do not configure the loopback interface address, then the first configured VLAN interface address is selected.
Generally, VLAN 1 is the factory default setting and thus becomes the switch IP address.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Network > Switch > System Settings page and locate the Loopback
Interface section.
2. Modify the IP Address as required.
3. Click Apply.
If you are use the loopback IP address to access the WebUI, changing the loopback IP address will result in loss of
connectivity. It is recommended that you use one of the VLAN interface IP addresses to access the WebUI.
