IP Interface Commands

An IP addresses may be used for management access to the switch over your network. The IP address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default. You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server when it is powered on. You may also need to a establish a default gateway between this device and management stations or other devices that exist on another network segment.

Syntax

ip address {ip-address netmask bootp dhcp} no ip address

ip-address- IP address

netmask - Network mask for the associated IP subnet. This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets.

bootp - Obtains IP address from BOOTP.

dhcp - Obtains IP address from DHCP.

Default Setting

DHCP

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (VLAN)

Command Usage

You must assign an IP address to this device to gain management access over the network. You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be accepted by the configuration program.
