Setting the Local Interface
This procedure designates the local interface of a switch. The local
interface indicates the common VLAN of the switches in an enhanced
stack, as explained in “Enhanced Stacking Overview” on page 90. It is
also used for remote Telnet, SSH, or web browser management, as
explained in “Planning for Remote Management” on page 49.
A switch can have only one local interface. The current local interface is
indication in the Create Interface menu with “eth0” following its name.
To select a 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.
3. From the System Configuration menu, type I to select Configure
Interface.
The Configure Interface menu is shown in Figure 236 on page 698.
4. From the Configure Interface menu, type E to select Set eth0
Interface.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter Interface Name:
5. Enter the name of the interface (e.g., vlan2-1) to be the local interface
on the switch. To remove the current local interface assignment
without assigning a new local interface, enter "none".
The name of the selected interface in the Create Interface menu
should now include “eth0” to indicate that the interface is now
functioning as the local interface on the switch.
6. To permanently save your change, return to the Main Menu and type S
to select Save Configuration Changes.
