gateways have been configured, press without specifying any number.
IP Routing
When IP interfaces are configured for the various IP subnets attached to your switch, IP routing
between them can be performed entirely within the switch. This eliminates the need to send
inter-subnet communication to an external router device. Routing on more complex networks,
where subnets may not have a direct presence on the G8124, can be accomplished through
configuring static routes or by letting the switch learn routes dynamically.
This part of the Setup program prompts you to configure the various routing parameters.
At the prompt, enable or disable forwarding for IP Routing:
Enter y to enable IP forwarding. To disable IP forwarding, enter n . To keep the current setting, press
.
IP default gateways:
Enter default gateway number: (1-4)
Current IP address: 0.0.0.0
Enter new IP address:
