USER’S GUIDE86 CyberSWITCHOff-node authentication servers are available when IP is enabled regardless of the operating mode.With IP host mode, all traffic is considered bridge traffic, so no IP-specific off-node server lookupsare performed. These include:• IP lookup by a next hop IP address or a next hop device name• Route lookup by a destination IP addressWhen the IP operating mode is changed from one mode to the other, changes are automaticallymade to the configuration sensitive to the IP operating mode.The IP network interfaces in the router mode and the IP network interface in the host mode areinternally stored separately, and therefore they are preserved between the mode switching.IP static routes are not actually sensitive to the IP operating mode, but they are sensitive to IPnetwork interfaces. As a result, changing the IP operating mode (i.e., changing the networkinterface configuration) may result in invalidating some of the static routes. Be sure to check this.Correct invalid static routes before restarting the system to avoid the deletion of these routes.IP N ETWORK INTERFACESCONFIGURING I NTERFACESU SING CFGEDITNote: IP RIP v1 refers to IP RIP Version 1, and IP RIP v2 refers to IP RIP Version 2. IP RIP v1supports broadcasting, and IP RIP v2 supports multicasting. The CyberSWITCH supportseither version. If you are using IP RIP, you need to know what version of IP RIP the otherdevices using the IP RIP LAN interface supports.1. Configure all required IP interfaces. If you previously configured the IP operating mode asrouting, the interfaces described in steps 2 through 6 are available. If you previously configuredthe IP operating mode as host, only one interface will be available. That interface type isdescribed in step 7. To begin, select IP Interfaces from the IP configuration menu. Select Add.2. For a LAN IP network interface enter the following information. (Note: you may add more thanone LAN IP network interface.)a. interface nameb. IP address assigned to this interfacec. subnet maskd. LAN port numbere. packet encapsulation typef.
