Configuring IP Addressing

Configure an IP Address and Subnet Mask.  The following command 
includes both the IP address and the subnet mask. You must either include the 
ID of the VLAN for which you are configuring IP addressing or go to the 
context configuration level for that VLAN. (If you are not using VLANs on the 
switch—that is, if the only VLAN is the default VLAN—then the VLAN ID is 
always “1”.) 
Note The default IP address setting for the DEFAULT_VLAN is DHCP/Bootp. On 
additional VLANs you create, the default IP address setting is Disabled.
Syntax: vlan <vlan-id> ip address <ip-address/mask-length>
or
vlan <vlan-id> ip address <ip-address> <mask-bits>
or
 vlan <vlan-id>  ip address dhcp-bootp
This example configures IP addressing on the default VLAN with the subnet 
mask specified in mask bits.  
HP4108(config)# vlan 1 ip address 10.28.227.103/255.255.255.0
This example configures the same IP addressing as  the preceding example, 
but specifies the subnet mask  by mask length.
HP4108(config)# vlan 1 ip address 10.28.227.103/24
Configure the Optional Default Gateway.  Using the Global configura-
tion level, you can assign one default gateway to the switch.
Syntax: ip default-gateway <ip-address> 
For example:
HP4108(config)# ip default-gateway 10.28.227.115
