You can manually assign an IP address to the switch. You may also need to 
specify a default gateway that resides between this device and management 
stations that exist on another network segment. Valid IP addresses consist 
of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything outside 
this format will not be accepted by the CLI program.

Note: The IP address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default.

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-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>.
