Configure The Switch Management Cpu - NETGEAR M6100 Series Reference Manual

Configure the Switch Management CPU

To manage the switch over the web management interface or Telnet, you must assign an IP
address to the switch management CPU. You can accomplish this task through CLI
commands or you can use the ezconfig tool, which simplifies the task. The tool is applicable
to all NETGEAR M6100 series managed switches and lets you configure the following
settings:
• The administrator user password and administrator-enable password
• The management CPU IP address and network mask
• The system name and location information
The tool is interactive and uses questions to guide you through the configuration steps. At the
end of the configuration session, the tool lets you save the information. To see which
information was changed by the ezconfig tool after a configuration session, issue the show
running-config command.
ezconfig
This command sets the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway of the switch. The IP address
and the gateway must be on the same subnet.
