	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	Switch# configuration terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
	Switch(config)# interface {vlan vlan_ID	Select an interface.
	{fastethernet gigabitethernet}
	slot/interface Port-channelnumber}
Step 3
	Switch(config-if)# ip address ip_address	(Optional) Assign an IP address to the Catalyst 4500 series.
	address_mask	Note This step is mandatory if the switch is part of
		community or is a cluster command switch. This step
		is optional if the switch is a cluster member
		candidate.
Step 4
	Switch(config-if)# end	Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
	Switch# show running-config	Verify the configuration.

Step 4
	Switch(config)# interface {vlan vlan_ID	Select an interface.
	{fastethernet gigabitethernet}
	slot/interface Port-channelnumber}
Step 5
