Configuring the Switch Modules using the Menu-driven Interface
— Default Gateway—An IP address that determines where packets with a
destination address outside the current subnet should be sent. This is usually the
address of a router or a host acting as an IP gateway. If your network is not part
of an intranet, or you do not want the switch module to be accessible outside your
local network, you can leave this field blank.
If you select Manual, type the appropriate data into the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Default Gateway fields.
4. Type the VLAN ID (VID) of a VLAN that will have access to the Telnet manager in the
Management VID field. This ID will be the VID of the VLAN on which a management
station is located. Management of the switch module using Telnet or SNMP will be
isolated to this VLAN.
5. Highlight APPLY.
6. Press the Enter key to make the change effective.
IMPORTANT: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM
using the Save Changes option on the main menu. Refer to the “Saving Changes” section earlier
in this chapter.

snooping, GVRP, Telnet status, Web status, SNTP, and others.
