TABLE 7 Interface IP parameters - Layer 2 switches
Parameter
DHCP gateway stamp
Basic IP configuration
IP is enabled by default. Basic configuration consists of adding IP addresses for Layer 3 switches, enabling a route exchange protocol,
such as the Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
NOTE
The terms Layer 3 switch and router are used interchangeably in this chapter and mean the same.
If you are configuring a Layer 3 switch, refer to Configuring IP addresses to add IP addresses, then enable and configure the route
exchange protocols, as described in other chapters of this guide.
If you are configuring a Layer 2 switch, refer to Configuring the management IP address and specifying the default gateway to add an IP
address for management access through the network and to specify the default gateway.
The rest of this chapter describes IP and how to configure it in more detail. Use the information in this chapter if you need to change
some of the IP parameters from their default values or you want to view configuration information or statistics.
Configuring IP parameters - Layer 3 switches
The following sections describe how to configure IP parameters. Some parameters can be configured globally while others can be
configured on individual interfaces. Some parameters can be configured globally and overridden for individual interfaces.
Configuring IP addresses
You can configure an IP address on the following types of Layer 3 switch interfaces:
• Ethernet port
• Virtual routing interface (also called a Virtual Ethernet or "VE")
• Loopback interface
• GRE tunnels

Description
addresses into the DHCP Discovery packets in a
round robin fashion.
Allows the switch to obtain IP addresses from a
DHCP host automatically, for either a specified
(leased) or infinite period of time.
Description
You can configure a list of DHCP stamp
addresses for a port. When the port receives a
DHCP/BootP Discovery packet from a client,
the port places the IP addresses in the gateway
list into the packet Gateway field.
