Configuring IP Interface Addresses

Use the IP Interface Addresses window for help on how to add, modify or delete an IP interface address.  To enable the IP protocol, you must assign at least one IP address to any of the router's VLAN interfaces (VI).

Adding an IP Address

Procedure:

Step Action
1 Click Add.  The IP Interface Address Add/Modify window appears with zeros in all fields.
2 Enter an interface number (Ifc) in the Ifc field.
3 Enter an IP address in the IP Address field.  The VI does not receive or transmit IP packets until it has at least one IP address and has an associated VLAN.
4 Enter a subnet mask in the Subnet Mask field.
5 Click Apply.  The IP address is added to the router's configuration.

 

Modifying an IP Address

3 Enter a new IP address, if appropriate, in the IP Address field.
4 Enter a new subnet mask, if appropriate, in the Subnet Mask field.
5 Click Apply.  The IP address is modified in the router's configuration.

 

Deleting an IP Address

Note: Deleting an address from an interface may result in the loss of IP connectivity.

Procedure:

Step Action
1 From the list of IP addresses displayed, click the Del button associated with the IP address you want to delete.  The IP Interface Address Add/Modify window appears displaying the IP address you selected.
2 Enter 0.0.0.0 in the IP Address field.
