Devices running Layer 2 software
Complete the following steps to configure an IP address on a device running Layer
2 software:
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example,
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the switch.
5. Set a default gateway address for the switch.
Syntax: enable [<password>]
Syntax:configure terminal
Syntax:[no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>
or
Syntax:[no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits>
Syntax: ip default-gateway <ip-addr>
Connecting network devices
IBM devices support connections to routers, switches, and hubs from other vendors,
as well as other IBM devices.
Connectors and cable specifications
Refer to "Cable specifications" on page 46 for cable lengths and types supported on
the B24X devices. For port pinouts, refer to "10/100/1000 Gigabit port pinouts" on
page 46.
Connecting to Ethernet or fast Ethernet hubs
For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch,
or another device, a crossover cable is required (Figure 10 on page 22 and

TurboIron Switch#), then press Enter. This command erases the factory test
configuration if still present.
TurboIron# erase startup-config
Attention:
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If
you enter this command on a system you have already configured, the
command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the
configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save
the running configuration to the startup-config file.
TurboIron# configure terminal Privileged EXEC Level
TurboIron(config)# Global CONFIG Level
TurboIron(config)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
TurboIron(config)# ip default-gateway 192.22.3.1
Note: You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet
networks.
