Basic Switch Configuration

3.Specify a default gateway address/default route.

When configuring IP on most layer 2 switches, you need to specify the IP address of the device and the IP address of the default gateway.

Use the following Boot Monitor CLI command to specify the default route:

net mgmt route net 0.0.0.0 <ipaddr>

Use the following Run-Time CLI command to specify the default route:

config bootconfig net mgmt route net 0.0.0.0 <ipaddr>

In each of these commands, ipaddr specifies the IP address of the default gateway.

4.To save the configuration, enter:

save config

Your Passport 8100 switch now has an IP address and can be used as a layer 2 switch.
