Network Interface Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure a logical interface for
management access. To configure the management VLAN, see step on page 47.

enable (Privileged EXEC access)

Use this command to access the Privileged EXEC mode. From the Privileged EXEC mode,
you can configure the network interface.
Format enable
Mode

network parms

Use this command to set the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway of the device. The IP
address and the gateway must be on the same subnet.
Format network parms <ipaddr> <netmask> [<gateway>]
Mode

network protocol

Use this command to specify the network configuration protocol to be used. If you modify this
value, change is effective immediately. If you use the bootp parameter, the switch
periodically sends requests to a BootP server until a response is received. If you use the
dhcp parameter, the switch periodically sends requests to a DHCP server until a response is
received. If you use the none parameter, you must configure the network information for the
switch manually.
Default
Format network protocol {none | bootp | dhcp}
Mode

network mac-address

Use this command to set locally administered MAC addresses. The following rules apply:
Bit 6 of byte 0 (called the U/L bit) indicates whether the address is universally
administered (b'0') or locally administered (b'1').
Bit 7 of byte 0 (called the I/G bit) indicates whether the destination address is an individual
address (b'0') or a group address (b'1').
The second character, of the twelve character macaddr, must be 2, 6, A or E.
