Starting and Configuring the Device 49
• The IP subnet mask for the network.
• The default gateway IP address.
• The SNMP community.
Static IP Address and Subnet Mask
An IP address can be configured on any interface, including a VLAN, a LAG, and a physical port.
After entering the configuration command, it is recommended to check if a port was configured
with the IP address by entering the
show ip interface
command.
Important:
If an IP address is configured on a LAG or physical port (ex. g10), that interface is
removed from VLAN 1.
Static Route Configuration
To manage the device from a remote network a static route must be configured, which is an IP
address to where packets are sent when no entries are found in the device tables. The configured IP
address must belong to the same subnet as one of the device IP interfaces.
To configure a static route, enter the command at the system prompt as shown in the following
configuration example where 100.1.1.1 (mask 24) is the specific management station, and
100.1.1.10 is the static route which acts as the default gateway.
Assigning Static IP Addresses on an Inband Interface
NOTE: This example uses the following assumptions:
• The IP address to be assigned to the PowerConnect VLAN interface is 192.168.1.123
• The IP subnet mask for the network is 255.255.255.0
• The IP address of the default route is 192.168.1.1
• The read/write SNMP community string is "private"
