IP Address Assignment in 8200 Devices

[Mayank]

                                              :: IP ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT IN 8200 DEVICES::

In 8200, The Switching image was deprecated with 10.0 and each platform will only use one image starting with 10.0.

ALL the L3 image support L2 features starting with 10.0, Only routing image are available for all supported models.
Switching features are still available in the routing image.

>The 8200 by design doesn't support l2 image so there is no ip default-gateway command.

>Instead we need to specify the route to forward the traffic to an external subnet. We can either use static routes, default routes or a routing protocol.

>If you want to use the ICX8200 switch as a L2 device follow the below steps:

You just need to add a default route to the device, And then add the VLANs you want. The ICX8200 model can only run L3 firmware images. That's why we need to add a default route for it to start behaving as an L2 switch, where it is only passing VLAN traffic in and out. We also need to identify the VLAN where this default route communication goes through. And then create a virtual interface and assign the IP that will be used for management and for communication with the default gateway.

Example:

-Create the virtual interface and assign the IP form MGMT and default route:

ICX8200-switch#conf t
ICX8200-switch(config)#vlan 10
ICX8200-switch(config-vlan10)#interface ve 10
ICX8200-switch(config-if-ve10)#ip address 10.10.10.2/24

Here's the command for the default route:

ICX8200-switch#conf t
ICX8200-switch(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.10.10.1 (IP address of your ICX7850 router, which is the default gateway for the management vlan)

ICX8200 with the code 10.00, this code only came in routing, so you can configure the IP address under a VE, loopback or port.

Beginning with the 09.0.00 release, when a VLAN is configured, a virtual routing interface is statically mapped to the VLAN ID. However,
only when you issue the interface ve-num command does the virtual interface get created.
