Manual Configuration
You can manually assign an IP address to the switch. You may also need to specify a default
gateway that resides between this device and management stations that exist on another network
segment.
Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything
outside this format will not be accepted by the CLI program.
The IP address for this switch is assigned via DHCP by default.
Before you can assign an IP address to the switch, you must obtain the following information from
your network administrator:
To assign an IP address to the switch, complete the following steps:
1. From the Privileged Exec level global configuration mode prompt, type "interface vlan 1" to
access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.
2. Type "ip address ip-address netmask," where "ip-address" is the switch IP address and
"netmask" is the network mask for the network. Press <Enter>.
3. Type "exit" to return to the global configuration mode prompt. Press <Enter>.
4. To set the IP address of the default gateway for the network to which the switch belongs, type
"ip default-gateway gateway," where "gateway" is the IP address of the default gateway. Press
<Enter>.
Dynamic Configuration
If you select the "bootp" or "dhcp" option, IP will be enabled but will not function until a BOOTP
or DHCP reply has been received. You therefore need to use the "ip dhcp restart" command to start
broadcasting service requests. Requests will be sent periodically in an effort to obtain IP
configuration information. (BOOTP and DHCP values can include the IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway.)
If the "bootp" or "dhcp" option is saved to the startup-config file, then the switch will start
broadcasting service requests as soon as it is powered on.
To automatically configure the switch by communicating with BOOTP or DHCP address allocation
servers on the network, complete the following steps:
1. From the Privileged Exec level global configuration mode prompt, type "interface vlan 1" to
access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.
