a discovery process, it assigns a dummy IP address 0.0.0.0 before the
real address is obtained. This dummy address has the status of "Not
Received".

Select one of the following fields:
• Interface—Select Port, LAG, or VLAN as the interface associated with this
IP configuration, and select an interface from the list.

Dynamic IP Address
-
Static IP Address
-
If Static IP Address was selected, enter the Mask field:
• Network Mask—IP mask for this address.
• Prefix Length—Length of the IPv4 prefix.
Click Apply. The IPv4 address settings are written to the Running Configuration
file.
When the system is in one of the stacking modes with a Backup Master present,
Cisco recommends configuring the IP address as a static address to prevent
disconnecting from the network during a Stacking Master switchover. This is
because when the backup master takes control of the stack, when using DHCP, it
might receive a different IP address than the one that was received by the stack's
original master-enabled unit.
—Receive the IP address from a DHCP server.
—Enter the IP address.
