Managing IP Addresses

Device interfaces that have IP addresses can be routed ports or VLANs. When a VLAN acquires an IP address, it becomes an SVI (switched virtual interface). When a routed port acquires an IP address, all the network traffic on a specified subnet is sent to the routed port.

To specify IP information for a device, choose Administration > IP Addresses and use the IP Addresses window.

Note: In a cluster, you must assign IP information to the command switch; you can also assign IP information to member switches in a cluster, but it is not required.
