Parameter Description

VLAN

The VLAN associated with this IP interface.

Select

Use this option to create or modify a VLAN under the “Port Group Configuration”

menu.

IP Address

The IP address associated with the specified VLAN interface. In general, it is the

router IP address for the specified VLAN members.

Subnet Mask

A template that identifies the address bits in the host address used for routing to

specific subnets. Each bit that corresponds to a “1” is part of the network / subnet

number; and each bit that corresponds to“0” is part of the host number.

Proxy ARP

Enables or disables Proxy ARP for the interface. This feature allows the switch

forward an ARP request from a node in the attached subnetwork (that does not have

routing or a default gateway configured) to a remote subnetwork. (See “6.2.5 Proxy

ARP”.)

Note that Proxy ARP must be enabled globally for the switch before this setting can

take effect. (See “4.5.6.2 Protocol Configuration”.)

RIP

Routing Information Protocol for unicast routing.

OSPF

Open Shortest Path First unicast routing protocol.
