Configuring Routing Interfaces 855Configuring Routing Interfaces (CLI)This section provides information about the commands you use to configureVLAN routing interfaces, loopbacks, and tunnels on the switch. For moreinformation about the commands, see thePowerConnect 7000 Series CLIReference Guide.Configuring VLAN Routing Interfaces (IPv4)Beginning in Privileged EXEC mode, use the following commands toconfigure a VLAN as a routing interface and set the IP configurationparameters.Command Purposeconfigure Enter Global Configuration mode.interface vlanvlan-id Enter Interface Configuration mode for the specifiedVLAN.ip address {dhcp | none|ip_address subnet_mask[secondary]}Configure the IP address.Use the dhcp keyword to enable the DHCP client andobtain an IP address from a network DHCP server. Usenone to release the address obtained from the DHCPserver.Useip_address andsubnet_mask to assign a static IPaddress. If you configure a static address, you can usethe secondary keyword to specify that the address is asecondary IP address.ip netdirbcast Enable the forwarding of network-directed broadcasts.encapsulation {ethernet |snap}Configure the link-layer encapsulation type for thepacket. Routed frames are always ethernet encapsulatedwhen a frame is routed to a VLAN.ip proxy-arp Enable proxy ARP on the interface. Without proxy ARP,the switch responds to an ARP request only if the targetIP address is an address configured on the interfacewhere the ARP request arrived.ip local-proxy-arp Enable local proxy ARP on the interface to allow theswitch to respond to ARP requests for hosts on the samesubnet as the ARP source.
