assign interface to layer 3 on switch HP Flexfabric 5700

[Alfred-90]

I want to config static route from switch HP 5700 to switch Cumulus OS but I can not set up ip on interface.

I try to use  "port link-mode route" command to change port from layer 2 to layer 3, this command not found on this switch.

I read following document:

https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04565841

It didn't help me.

Hi Alfred,

5700 doesn't support L3 ports. You may use Switched Virtual Interfaces instead which means to configure an ip address on a VLAN interface like

interface Vlan-interface 10

ip address 10.10.1.1 24

5700 allows for 32 IP addresses and 128 static routes only as HPE regards it as being a L2 switch with lite L3 functions.
