4.5.6.1 Subnet Configuration
Use this menu to specify an IP interface for any VLAN configured on this switch that needs to
communicate with a device outside of its own group (that is, another network segment). You also need to
define a VLAN for each IP subnet connected directly to this switch. Note that you must first create a
VLAN as described under “Configuring Virtual LANs” before configuring the corresponding subnet. If you
need to manage the switch in-band then you must define the IP subnet address for at least one VLAN.
Parameter Description

router IP address for the specified VLAN members.
