Displaying the IP Address of the Local Interface

This procedure displays the IP address and subnet mask of the local
interface on the switch. The local interface is used for remote Telnet, SSH,
and web browser management of the switch. On the master switch of an
enhanced stack, the local interface also designates the common VLAN of
the switches.

To view the IP address and subnet mask of the local interface, perform the
following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.

2. From the System Administration menu, type 2 to select System

Configuration.

The System Configuration menu is shown in Figure 2 on page 33.

Note

Selections 5 to 7 in the System Configuration menu are described in
“Configuring the Switch’s Name, Location, and Contact” on page 32.
Selection 8, ARP Cache Timeout, is described in “Setting the ARP
Cache Timeout” on page 558
. Selection T, Configure System Time,
is described in “Setting the System Time” on page 38.

Items 1 through 4 in the menu display the IP settings for the routing
interface designated as the local interface on the switch. There will be
no IP settings if no interface has been designated as the local
interface.

1 - Eth0 Interface
This parameter displays the name of the local interface. An interface
name consists of “VLAN” followed the ID number (VID) of the VLAN
where the interface is assigned and the interface number, separated
by a dash (e.g., VLAN2-0).

2 - IP Address
This parameter displays the IP address and source of the address for
the local interface. The source is STATIC for a manually assigned
address or DHCP or BOOTP for an address supplied by a DHCP or
BOOTP server.

3 - Subnet Mask
This parameter specifies the subnet mask of the local interface.

4 - Default Gateway
This parameter specifies the IP address of the default route or default
gateway for the switch. For instructions, refer to “Setting the Default
Route or Default Gateway” on page 556.
