All switches must be assigned routable IP addresses to be managed by ReadyView. These IP addresses can be dynamically assigned via DHCP or statically assigned.
*Note: Only one VLAN interface can be assigned a gateway. By default, all devices are configured with a single vlan interface on VLAN 1 set as a DHCP client.
Dynamic Assignment
When using DHCP, the DHCP server should be configured to assign a static IP address for each MAC address belonging to a ReadyLinks switch. Other features of the network, such as 802.1X authentication, may rely on the property that the switches have static IP addresses.
GL-24xT-P600D# configure terminal
GL-24xT-P600D(config)# interface vlan 10
GL-24xT-P600D(vlan-interface10)# ip address dhcp
GL-24xT-P600D(vlan-interface10)# end
GL-24xT-P600D(config)# vlan 10
GL-24xT-P600D(vlan10)# switchport tagged ethernet RJ45/G1
GL-24xT-P600D(vlan10)# end
GL-24xT-P600D(config)# management mode vlan 10
GL-24xT-P600D(config)# end
GL-24xT-P600D# show vlan int
Static Assignment
Static IPs are assigned using the local web server on each switch. The following procedure describes how to set the static IP:
- Using a client machine (e.g., a laptop), connect to the switch over a wired connection.
- Using a web browser on the client machine, access the switch locally via serial. Enter the the VLAN interface for management.
- Configure the static IP address, net mask, gateway IP address and DNS servers that this switch will use on its management connection. If necessary, reconnect the switch to the LAN.
GL-24xT-P600D# configure terminal
GL-24xT-P600D(config)# interface vlan 10
GL-24xT-P600D(vlan-interface10)# ip address 10.10.0.10 255.255.255.0 10.10.0.1
GL-24xT-P600D(vlan-interface10)# end
GL-24xT-P600D(config)# vlan 10
GL-24xT-P600D(vlan10)# switchport tagged ethernet RJ45/G1
GL-24xT-P600D(vlan10)# end
GL-24xT-P600D(config)# management mode vlan 10
GL-24xT-P600D(config)# end
GL-24xT-P600D# show vlan int
Removing the Default Interface
GL-24xT-P600D# configure terminal
GL-24xT-P600D(config)# interface vlan 1
GL-24xT-P600D(vlan-interface10)# no ip address
