GE Ipconfig ip=ip-address mask=subnet-mask dgw=gateway, An example is shown below, ML1200#

INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

ZFollow the steps described above for connecting the console cable and setting the console firmware.

ZPower on the switch.

ZOnce the login prompt appears, login as manager using default password (manager).

ZConfigure the IP address, network mask and default gateway as per the IP addressing scheme for your network.

ZSet the manager password (this step is recommended; refer to the following section).

ZSave the settings (without saving, the changes made will be lost).

ZPower off the switch (or a firmware reboot as discussed below).

ZPower on the switch - login with the new login name and password.

ZFrom the PC (or from the switch) ping the IP address specified for the switch to ensure connectivity.

ZFrom the switch ping the default gateway specified (ensure you are connected to the network to check for connectivity) to ensure network connectivity.

Syntax:

ipconfig [ip=<ip-address>] [mask=<subnet-mask>] [dgw=<gateway>]

An example is shown below.

ML1200# ipconfig ip=3.94.247.41 mask=255.255.252.0 dgw=3.94.244.41

ML1200# save

This manual assumes the reader is familiar with IP addressing schemes as well as how net mask is used and how default gateways and routers are used in a network.

Reboot gives an opportunity to save the configuration prior to shutdown. For a reboot, simply type in the command reboot. Note that even though the passwords are not changed, they can be changed later.

ML1200# reboot

Proceed on rebooting the switch? ['Y' or 'N'] Y

Do you wish to save current configuration? ['Y' or 'N'] Y

ML1200#

The ML1200 forces an answer by prompting with a “Y” or a “N” to prevent accidental keystroke errors and loss of work.

The parameters can be viewed at any time by using the show command. The show command will be covered in more detail later in various sections throughout the document.

The example below illustrates the basic setup parameters. You can use show setup or show sysconfig commands to view setup parameters.
