Configuring The Ip Interface - IBM G8316 Installation Manual

Configuring the IP interface

To manage the switch using Telnet, SNMP, or a Web browser, you must have an IP
interface. Use DHCP (enabled by default) or manually configure the following IP
parameters:
v IP address
v Subnet mask
v Gateway address
1. Log on to the switch.
2. Enter IP interface mode.
3. Configure an IP interface, subnet mask, and VLAN assignment. Enable the
4. Configure the default gateway. Enable the gateway.

RS G8316(config)# system dhcp mgt
Warning: Enabling dhcp will overwrite IP interface 128 and IP gateway 4 configurations.

RS G8316 (config-ip-if)# ip address 10.10.10.2 (example IP address)
RS G8316 (config-ip-if)# ip netmask 255.255.255.0
RS G8316 (config-ip-if)# vlan 1
RS G8316 (config-ip-if)# enable
RS G8316 (config-ip-if)# exit
RS G8316 (config)# ip gateway 1 address 10.10.10.1 (example gateway address)
RS G8316 (config)# ip gateway 1 enable
After you configure the IP address for your switch and you have an existing
network connection, you can use the Telnet program from an external
management station to access and control the switch. The management station
and your switch must be on the same IP subnet.
The switch module supports a command-line interface (CLI) that you can use to
configure and control the switch over the network using the Telnet program. You
can use the CLI to perform many basic network management functions. In
addition, you can configure the switch for management using an SNMP-based
network management system or a Web browser.
