Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address

Assign the WMIC IP address by using one of the following methods:

Assigning an IP Address By Using the Exec

The WMIC links to the network by using a Bridge Group Virtual Interface (BVI) that it creates
automatically. Each WMIC supports one BVI. Configuring more than one BVI might cause errors in the
WMIC Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign an IP address to the BVI:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 interface bvi1
Step 3 ip address address
subnetmask
Use the console when you connect to the WMIC locally. For detailed instructions, see the
"Connecting to the WMIC" section on page
Use a DHCP server (if available) to automatically assign an IP address. You can find out the
DHCP-assigned IP address by doing one of the following:
– Provide your organization's network administrator with the WMIC Media Access Control
(MAC) address. The network administrator will query the DHCP server using the MAC address
to identify the IP address.
Use the Cisco IP Setup Utility (IPSU) to identify the assigned address. You can also use IPSU
–
to assign an IP address to the WMIC if it did not receive an IP address from the DHCP server.
IPSU runs on most Microsoft Windows operating systems: Windows 9x, 2000, ME, NT, and XP.
You can download IPSU from the Software Center on Cisco.com. Click this link to browse to

If the unit is a non-root bridge, connect to the WMIC console port of the router locally.
–
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter interface configuration mode for the BVI.
Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the BVI.
Note
1.
If you are connected to the WMIC using a Telnet session, the
connection to the WMIC will go down when you assign a new IP
address to the BVI. To continue configuring the WMIC by using
Telnet, use the new IP address to open another Telnet session to the
WMIC.
