INITIAL CONFIGURATION

•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-address” is 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>.

Console(config)#interface vlan 1

Console(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0

Console(config-if)#exit

Console(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254

Console(config)#

Dynamic Configuration

If you select the “bootp” or “dhcp” option, IP will be enabled but will not function until a BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. You therefore need to use the “ip dhcp restart client” command to start broadcasting service requests. Requests will be sent periodically in an effort to obtain IP configuration information. (BOOTP and DHCP values can include the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.)
