Configuring the Switch Modules using the Menu-driven Interface 
—  Default Gateway—An IP address that determines where packets with a 
destination address outside the current subnet should be sent. This is usually the 
address of a router or a host acting as an IP gateway. If your network is not part 
of an intranet, or you do not want the switch module to be accessible outside your 
local network, you can leave this field blank.  
If you select Manual, type the appropriate data into the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and 
Default Gateway fields. 
4.  Type the VLAN ID (VID) of a VLAN that will have access to the Telnet manager in the 
Management VID field. This ID will be the VID of the VLAN on which a management 
station is located. Management of the switch module using Telnet or SNMP will be 
isolated to this VLAN. 
5. Highlight APPLY. 
6. Press the Enter key to make the change effective. 
 
IMPORTANT:  To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM 
using the Save Changes option on the main menu. Refer to the “Saving Changes” section earlier 
in this chapter.  
Displaying Basic Interconnect Switch Information 
You can display basic information about the interconnect switch including the type of switch

PROM and firmware version numbers display. This information is helpful in monitoring 
PROM and firmware updates. 
In addition, you can display advanced switch information including global settings for IGMP 
snooping, GVRP, Telnet status, Web status, SNTP, and others. 
To configure and display the interconnect switch information and advanced settings:
