Basic Configuration

CLI – Specify the management interface, IP address and default gateway.

Console#config

 

Console(config)#interface vlan 1

4-84

Console(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0

4-167

Console(config-if)#exit

 

Console(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.1.253

4-168

Console(config)#

 

 

 

Using DHCP/BOOTP

If your network provides DHCP/BOOTP services, you can configure the switch to be dynamically configured by these services.

Web – Click System, IP Configuration. Specify the VLAN to which the management station is attached, set the IP Address Mode to DHCP or BOOTP. Click Apply to save your changes. Then click Restart DHCP to immediately request a new address. Note that the switch will also broadcast a request for IP configuration settings on each power reset.

Note: If you lose your management connection, use a console connection and enter “show ip interface” to determine the new switch address.

CLI – Specify the management interface, and set the IP address mode to DHCP or BOOTP, and then enter the ip dhcp restart command.

Console#config

 

Console(config)#interface vlan 1

4-84

Console(config-if)#ip address dhcp

4-167

Console(config-if)#end

 

Console#ip dhcp restart

4-83

Console#show ip interface

4-168

IP address and netmask: 192.168.1.54 255.255.255.0 on VLAN 1,

 

and address mode: DHCP.
