Enter the system-view command and press Enter. The

 prompt is 

displayed.

Enter interface vlan 1 and press Enter.

Enter the IP address and subnet mask for the switch as follows:

and press Enter.

(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address and mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm is the subnet 
mask of the switch)

Select the quit command and enter the default gateway for the switch:

(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the default gateway)

From the User View, type save to save the switch’s configuration (this information 
is not saved automatically when the switch is powered down).

You can now set up your chosen management method. See “Methods of 
Managing a Switch” on page 36. 

If you do not intend to use the command line interface using the console port to 
manage the switch, you can disconnect the serial cable and close the terminal 
emulator software.

You can manage your switch, including changing IP address information, by 
making a connection to a front panel port.  You can then access the Command 
Line Interface or the Web interface, as desired. To do this you will need an IP 
address, refer to “Viewing Automatically Configured IP Information” on page 40 
for more information.
