Manual Configuration - SMC Networks 6824MPE INT Management Manual

Dynamic — The switch sends IP configuration requests to BOOTP or
DHCP address allocation servers on the network.
Note: Only one VLAN interface can be assigned an IP address (the
default is VLAN 1). This defines the management VLAN, the only
VLAN through which you can gain management access to the
switch. If you assign an IP address to any other VLAN, the new IP
address overrides the original IP address and this becomes the new
management VLAN.

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.
Note: 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:
• IP address for the switch
• Default gateway for the network
• Network mask for this network
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>.
