Configuring and Managing IP Interfaces and Services
Configuring the System IP Address
You can designate one of the IP addresses configured on an Switch to be the system IP
address of the switch. The system IP address determines the interface or source IP address
MSS uses for system tasks, including the following:
• Topology reporting for dual-homed access points
• Default source IP address used in unsolicited communications such as AAA
accounting reports and SNMP traps
Designating the System IP Address
To designate the system IP address, use the following command:
set system ip-address
ip-addr
Displaying the System IP Address
To display the system IP address, use the following command.
show system
Clearing the System IP Address
To clear the system IP address, use the following command:
clear system ip-address
Configuring and Managing IP Routes
The IP route table contains routes that MSS uses for determining the interfaces for a
switch’s external communications. When you add an IP interface to a VLAN that is up, MSS
automatically adds corresponding entries to the IP route table.
For destination routes that are not directly attached, you can add static routes. A static route
specifies the destination and the gateway router through which to forward traffic.You can add
the following types of static routes:
• Explicit route - Forwarding path for traffic to a specific destination
• Default route - Forwarding path for traffic to a destination without an explicit
route in the route table
A destination can be a subnet or network. If two static routes specify a destination, the more
specific route is always chosen (longest prefix match). For example, if you have a static route
with a destination of 10.10.1.0/24, and another static route with a destination of 10.10.0.0/16,
the first static route is chosen to reach 10.10.1.15, because it has the longer prefix match.
