Chapter 2: Initial Setup  

  47

The system prompts for IPv4 parameters.

Although the switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks, the Setup utility permits only IPv4 
configuration. For IPv6 configuration, see 

|.

IP interfaces are used for defining the networks to which the switch belongs.

Up to 128 IP interfaces can be configured on the RackSwitch G8124 (G8124). The IP address 
assigned to each IP interface provides the switch with an IP presence on your network. No two IP 
interfaces can be on the same IP network. The interfaces can be used for connecting to the switch 
for remote configuration, and for routing between subnets and VLANs (if used).

Two interfaces are reserved for IPv4 management: interface 127 (MGTA) and 128 (MGTB). 

If the IPv6 feature is enabled, two additional interfaces are reserved to IPv6 management: interface 
125 (MGTA) and 126 (MGTB).

Select the IP interface to configure, or skip interface configuration at the prompt:

If you wish to configure individual IP interfaces, enter the number of the IP interface you wish to 
configure. To skip IP interface configuration, press <Enter> without typing an interface number and 
go to
