SWITCH MANAGEMENT

Before you can assign an IP address to the switch, you must obtain the following information from your network administrator:

•IP address for the switch

•Default gateway for the network

•Network mask for this network

To assign an IP address to the switch, complete the following steps:

1.From the Privileged Exec level global configuration mode prompt, type “interface vlan 1” to access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.

2.Type “ip address ip-address netmask,” where ip-addressis the switch IP address and netmask is the network mask for the network. Press <Enter>.

3.Type “exit” to return to the global configuration mode prompt. Press <Enter>.

4.To set the IP address of the default gateway for the network to which the switch belongs, type “ip default-gateway gateway,” where gateway is the IP address of the default gateway. Press <Enter>. In the screen below, the IP addresses given are merely examples.

Console(config)#interface vlan 1
