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 Chapter 29, "Internet
Protocol Version 6."
IP interfaces are used for defining the networks to which the switch belongs.
Up to 126 IP interfaces can be configured on the RackSwitch G8264 (G8264). 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).
Note: IP interface 128 is reserved for out‐of‐band switch management.
