The <command parameter> signifies the configuration parameter, and <value> is the value assigned to that parameter. Follow each command entry with Enter (carriage return).

See Table 3-3 Telnet Commands and Parameters on page 43 for configuration parameters.

2.Repeat the previous step to set any additional configuration parameters.

3.When you have finished setting the configuration parameters, type exit or quit (depending on your system).

Indicate whether to save any changes by entering Y (default) for Yes, or N for No. If you enter save instead of exit or quit, you are not prompted to save settings.

Telnet commands and parameters. Table 3-3 Telnet Commands and Parameters on page 43 lists the available Telnet commands and parameters.

NOTE: If a parameter is dynamically provided by a BOOTP or DHCP server, you cannot change its value unless you set Manual configuration. See the ip-configcommand.

When you manually set an IP address, you should also re-set the subnet mask and default gateway.
