Therefore, configuring an IPAddress and ‘routing’ on an interface disables participation in VLANs on that interface.Using the Show IP Interface CommandUse the show ip interface command to display information about a particular IP interface:Figure 3-15. Using the show ip interface CommandNote: You must have the optional SFTOS Layer 3 Package installed to configure routingcommands and to set IP addressing an interface. Use the show version command (seeFigure 3-8 on page 35) to determine what software is installed.Command Syntax Command Mode Purposeip routing Global Config Enables routing for the switch.ip address Interface Config Configures an IP address on an interface. The IPaddress may be a secondary IP address.Note: You must configure ip routing at a global level, AND ‘routing’ at an interface level for you tobe able to ping from, and to, the address.Note: To configure the management interface with an IP address, see Setting the Management IPAddress on page 39.Force10 #configureForce10 (Config)#ip routingForce10 (Config)#interface 1/0/3Force10 (Interface 1/0/3)#ip address 50.0.0.2 255.255.255.0Force10 (Interface 1/0/3)#routingForce10 #show ip interface 1/0/3IP Address..................................... 50.0.0.2Subnet Mask.................................... 255.255.255.0Routing Mode...................................
