Chapter 5 Initial Setup Example

57

This  chapter shows how to set up the switch for an example network. 

The following lists the configuration steps for the example network:

• Configure an IP interface
• Configure DHCP server settings
• Create a VLAN
• Set port VLAN ID
• Enable RIP 

On a layer-3 switch, an IP interface (also known as an IP routing domain) is not bound to a 
physical port. The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of 
255.255.255.0. 

In the example network, since the RD network is already in the same IP interface as the 
switch, you don’t need to create an IP interface for it. However, if you want to have the Sales 
network on a different routing domain, you need to create a new IP interface.  This allows the 
switch to route traffic between the RD and Sales networks.

your computer is in the same subnet as the MGMT port.
