You can designate one of the IP addresses configured on a WX 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:

„

Mobility Domain operations

„

Topology reporting for dual-homed MAPs

„

Default source IP address used in unsolicited communications such as 
AAA accounting reports and SNMP traps

To designate the system IP address, use the following command:

set system ip-address ip-addr

To display the system IP address, use the following command.

To clear the system IP address, use the following command:

The IP route table contains routes that MSS uses for determining the 
interfaces for a WX 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 default 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
