IP INTERFACE COMMANDS

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.
