Blade ICE RACKSWITCH G8124-E - Manual (Page 47)

BLADEOS 6.5.2 Application Guide
BMD00220, October 2010 Chapter 2: Initial Setup 47
Setup Part 4: IP Configuration
The system prompts for IPv4 parameters.
Although the switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks, the Setup utility permits only IPv4
configuration. For IPv6 configuration, see
“Internet Protocol Version 6” on page 229 |.
IP Interfaces
IP interfaces are used for defining the networks to which the switch belongs.
Up to 128 IP interfaces can be configured on the RackSwitch G8124 (G8124). The IP address
assigned to each IP interface provides the switch with an IP presence on your network. No two IP
interfaces can be on the same IP network. The interfaces can be used for connecting to the switch
for remote configuration, and for routing between subnets and VLANs (if used).
Note – Two interfaces are reserved for IPv4 management: interface 127 (MGTA) and 128 (MGTB).
If the IPv6 feature is enabled, two additional interfaces are reserved to IPv6 management: interface
125 (MGTA) and 126 (MGTB).
1. Select the IP interface to configure, or skip interface configuration at the prompt:
If you wish to configure individual IP interfaces, enter the number of the IP interface you wish to
