4. Configure the IPv4 address and mask for the switch.
5. Set a default gateway address for the switch.
IPv6 devices
IPv6 devices support the 128-bit addressing format, composed of 8 fields of 16-bit
hexadecimal values separated by colons (:). For example,
2001:0000:0000:0200:002D:D0FF:FE48:4672 is an IPv6 address, which can also be
expressed as 2001:0:0:200:2D:D0FF:FE48:4672 after omitting the leading zeros.

Before attaching equipment to a router, you must assign an interface IP address to
the subnet on which the router will be located. You must use the serial connection
to assign the first IP address. for subsequent addresses, you also can use the CLI
through Telnet or the Web management interface.
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP interfaces on each port, virtual interface,
and loopback interface. You can increase this amount to up to 64 IP subnet
addresses per port by increasing the size of the subnet-per-interface table. See the
Configuration Guide For more information.
The following procedure shows how to add an IPv6 address and mask to a router
port.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
2. Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, then
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:

Global CONFIG Level:
FastIron(config)#
FastIron(config)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
FastIron(config)# ip default-gateway 192.22.3.1
Note: You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet
networks.
Syntax: enable [<password>]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>
or
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits>
Syntax: ip default-gateway <ip-addr>
FastIron> enable
press Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if still present:
FastIron# erase startup-config
Attention:
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If
you enter this command on a system you have already configured, the
command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the
configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to
save the running configuration to the startup-config file.
