Chapter 4: Basic Switch Commands

Note

You cannot manually assign an IP address to the switch if the DHCP or BOOTP client software is activated. To disable the client software, refer to the DISABLE DHCPBOOTP command.

To display the current IP address and subnet mask, refer to SHOW IP INTERFACE on page 66. To return the IP address and subnet mask to their default values, refer to PURGE IP on page 48.

For background information on when to assign a switch an IP address, refer to the AT-S62 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide.

Examples

The following command sets the switch’s IP address to 140.35.22.22 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0:

set ip interface=eth0 ipaddress=140.35.22.22 netmask=255.255.255.0

The following command sets just the subnet mask:

set ip interface=eth0 netmask=255.255.255.252

The following command activates the DHCP client software:

set ip interface=eth0 ipaddress=dhcp
