IP Interface Commands

ip address

This command sets the IP address for the currently selected VLAN interface. Use the no form to restore the default IP address.

Syntax

ip address {ip-address netmask bootp dhcp} no ip address

ip-address- IP address

netmask - Network mask for the associated IP subnet. This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets.

bootp - Obtains IP address from BOOTP.

dhcp - Obtains IP address from DHCP.

Default Setting

IP address: 0.0.0.0

Netmask: 255.0.0.0

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (VLAN)

Command Usage

You must assign an IP address to this device to gain management access over the network or to connect the switch to existing IP subnets. You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be accepted by the configuration program.

If you select the bootp or dhcp option, IP is enabled but will not function until a BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. Requests will be broadcast periodically by this device in an effort to learn its IP address. (BOOTP and DHCP values can include the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask).

You can start broadcasting BOOTP or DHCP requests by entering an ip dhcp restart client command, or by rebooting the switch.

Note: Before you can change the IP address, you must first clear the current address with the no form of this command.

Example

In the following example, the device is assigned an address in VLAN 1.

Console(config)#interface vlan 1

Console(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0

Console(config-if)#
