IP Commands

An IP address may be used for management access to the switch
over your network. By default, the switch uses DHCP to assign IP
settings to VLAN 1 on the switch. If you wish to manually
configure IP settings, you need to change the switch’s
user-specified defaults (IP address 0.0.0.0 and netmask 255.0.0.0)
to values that are compatible with your network. You may also
need to a establish a default gateway between the switch and
management stations that exist on another network segment.
