authorized to execute.

8 Your First Login Session
Assigning an IP Address to the
Switch
Assigning an IP address to your OmniSwitch 6855 Series
switch is an important step in the setup process.
Remote sessions such as Telnet, FTP, and WebView require
an IP address. The IP address for these session types serves as
a destination point for the remote session. Therefore, before
the switch can support any remote login sessions, a valid IP
address must be configured.
To assign an IP address to a switch, simply assign an IP
address to the switch's default VLAN 1 by entering the
ip interface command at the CLI prompt. Type the following
command exactly as shown.
-> ip interface vlan_1_name address
172.2.120.1 vlan 1
The command above assigns the IP address 172.2.120.1 to
VLAN 1. The parameter "vlan_1_name" is a descriptive name
of the interface and can be any text string.
