4.3 Configuring Interface
The Layer 2 switches only see the MAC address in an incoming packet to determine
where the packet needs to come from/to and which ports should receive the packet. The
Layer 2 switches do not need IP addresses to transmit packets. However, if you want to
access to the V5808 from a remote place with TCP/IP through SNMP or telnet, it requires
an IP address.
You can enable the interface to communicate with another network device on the network.
4.3.1 Enabling Interface
To assign an IP address to an interface, you need to enable the interface first. If the
interface is not enabled, you cannot access it from a remote place, even though an IP
address has been assigned.
To configure an interface, you need to open Interface Configuration mode first. To open
Interface Configuration mode, use the following command.
