xStack® DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch Figure 4- 3. IPv4 Interface Settings - Edit window Enter a name for the new interface to be added in the Interface Name field (if editing an IP interface, the Interface Name will already be in the top field as seen in the window above). Enter the interface's IP address and subnet mask in the corresponding fields. Pull the Interface Admin State pull-down menu to Enabled and click Apply to enter to make the IP interface effective. To view entries in the IPv4 Interface Settings window, click the Show All IP Interface Entries hyperlink. Use the Save Changes window to enter the changes into NV-RAM. The following fields can be set or modified: Parameter Description Interface Name This field displays the name for the IP interface or is used to add a new interface to be created by the user. The default IP interface is named "System". IP Address This field allows the entry of an IPv4 address to be assigned to this IP interface. Subnet Mask This field allows the entry of a subnet mask to be applied to this IP interface. VLAN Name This field states the VLAN Name directly associated with this interface. Interface Admin. State Use the pull-down menu to enable or disable configuration on this interface. Secondary Use the pull-down menu to set the IP interface as True or False. True will set the interface as secondary and False will denote the interface as the primary interface of the VLAN entered above. Secondary interfaces can only be configured if a primary interface is first configured. Proxy ARP Use the pull-down menu to Enable or Disable the proxy ARP state on the IP interface. Proxy Local ARP Use the pull-down menu to Enable or Disable the proxy local ARP. This function allows the Switch to respond to the proxy ARP, if the source IP and destination IP are in the same interface. IP Directed Broadcast Use the pull-down menu to enable or disable the IP directed broadcast on a specified interface. An IP directed broadcast is an IP packet whose destination address is a valid broadcast address of some IP subnet, but which originates from a node that is not a part of that destination subnet. The switch that is not directly connected to its destination subnet and forwards an IP directed broadcast in the same way that it would forward unicast IP packets to a host on that subnet. When a directed broadcast packet reaches a router that is directly connected to its destination subnet, and that packet is "exploded" as a broadcast on the destination subnet. This only works on layer 3 switches. Click Apply to implement changes made. 174
