apply when the port is used for the
console port. Available speeds are 2400,
9600, 19200 and 38400 bits per second.
The default setting is 9600.
Interface Name This allows for the naming of the SLIP
interface for easy reference.
Local IP Address This is an IP address assigned to the
serial port when it is used for SLIP
communications.
Remote IP
Address This is the IP address of the
management station that will use the
SLIP protocol to communicate with the
switch.
MTU Maximum Transfer Unit – this specifies
the maximum packet size in bytes. Can
be toggled between 1006 and 1500.
Switch Operation Mode
Putting the switch in IP Routing mode does not – by itself – enable IP routing.
The switch must be configured to use IP interfaces before it is capable of IP
routing.
The switch can operate in one of two modes:
1. Layer 2 Only, Support IEEE 802.1Q VLANs. The switching process is based upon the
source and destination MAC addresses only. 802.1Q VLANs are supported and the
switch is considered as a VLAN-tag aware device.
2. IP Routing, Support IEEE 802.1Q VLANs. The switching process is based upon the IP
source and destination addresses, if present. If the IP addresses are not present, the
switching process is based upon the MAC addresses (as in Layer 2 above). 802.1Q VLANs
are supported and the switch is considered as a VLAN-tag aware device.
The switch must be rebooted when changing the operation mode before the new mode can take effect.
Changing the Switch Operation Mode
To change the switch’s operating mode:
Highlight Switch Settings on the Main Menu and press Enter.
