Configuring IP addressing

This chapter describes IP addressing basic and manual IP address assignment for interfaces. Dynamic IP address assignment (DHCP) is beyond the scope of this chapter. The IP addresses in this chapter refer to IPv4 addresses unless otherwise specified.

NOTE:

The term "interface" in this chapter collectively refers to Layer 3 interfaces, including VLAN interfaces and Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces. You can set an Ethernet port as a Layer 3 interface by using the port link-mode route command (see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide).
