Web Interface: IP Address and Default Routes

This section will explain how to set the IP Address on the RAPTOR and create a default route.

To perform the tasks in this section, you will have already logged into the RAPTOR via the Web UI.

Speak with your Network Administrator to determine the values of the following parameters:
  • IP Address
  • IP Address Mask
  • Default Route

These values will be needed to configure the RAPTOR.

  1. Configure the VLAN settings by first navigating to the VLAN settings screen.

    Go to Layer 3 Management > IP > VLAN Interface.

    The following screen will appear.

  2. Configure the values as follows:
    • Select—select the VLAN Interface for which configuration needs to be modified or deleted. In this case it will be VLAN interface #1.
    • VLAN Interface—enter “1”.
    • Switch—default.
    • Admin State—select “UP” from the drop down list.
    • Operating State—choose UP.
    • Proxy ARP—select the Proxy ARP admin status for the interface. The default option is Disabled. Select Disabled.
    • MTU—enter 1500
  3. Click Apply.

    The VLAN is now configured.

  4. Configure the PIv4 settings of the VLAN by first navigating to the PIv4 Settings Page.
    Go to Layer 3 Management > IP > IPv4 AddrConf. IPv4 Interface Settings

    The following page will appear:

  5. If you wish to change the IP address and subnet, enter new values in those fields and then click Modify.

    The IP address of VLAN 1 will have changed.

  6. Configure the IP routes.

    For IP Route Configuration, go to Layer 3 Management > IP > IP Route. IP Route Configuration appears.

  7. You will need two routes: one route to your network and a default route to your control center. Once these routes are established, a remote user can configure the switch for proper configuration.
    1. You will need to configure VLAN 1 to use the default gateway. This route may already be in your list. The destination network should be the network for the IP Address configured in section 0, the subnet mask, the interface should be “vlan1”, the switch option should be “default”, and the distance should be “0”. Click Add.
    2. Configure the default gateway. The destination network should be 0.0.0.0, the subnet mask should be 0.0.0.0, and the gateway should be the gateway router IP address. Consult with your administrator if you do not know this value. Leave the interface blank. The switch should be “default” and the distance should be “1”. Click Add.
    3. Click Apply

    You should see a screen similar to the following:
