separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be accepted
by the configuration program.
If you select the bootp or dhcp option, IP is enabled but will not
function until a BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. Requests
will be broadcast periodically by this device in an effort to learn its IP
address. (BOOTP and DHCP values can include the IP address,
default gateway, and subnet mask).
You can start broadcasting BOOTP or DHCP requests by en tering an
ip dhcp restart command, or by rebooting the switch.
Note: Only one VLAN interface can be assigned an IP address (the
default is VLAN 1). This defines the management VLAN, the
only VLAN through which you can gain management access t o
the switch. If you assign an IP address to any other VLAN, the
new IP address overrides the original IP address and this
becomes the new management VLAN.
Example
In the following example, the device is assigned an address in VLAN 1.
