PowerConnect 8132 Routed Port
Good morning/afternoon everyone,
I'm coming from a Cisco World, but we decided to purchase Dell PowerConnect 8132 since they were cheaper. In Cisco, I can easily make a router port, for example:
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
no switchport
ip address 10.3.0.1 255.255.0.0
How do I do that in these switches? I tried searching google, but seemed to have come up with nothing that has helped me. I would assume it'd be something along the lines of:
#> configure
(config)#> int tengigabitethernet 1/0/2
(config-if-te1/0/2) # ip address 10.3.0.1 255.255.0.0
However, that Ip address command isn't available under interface for me. The few websites I have found indicated it should.
Any help would be great, thanks!

You are correct there is no command on the physical interface to set an ip address. When usinh the PowerConnect series you will need to place the physical port (te1/0/2) in a switchport mode for a certain VLAN.
(config-if-te1/0/2) # switchport mode access
(config-if-te1/0/2) # switchport access vlan xx
Then enter the VLAN xx interface and provide the needed IP address.
console(config)#interface vlan xx
console(config-if-vlanxx)#ip address 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0
The VLAN you are setting up is the Network that spans between the 2 devices that you are connecting at layer 3.
Here is a link to the manuals available for the 8100 model.
I hope this helps,
