To manually configure the IP settings, perform the following steps:

Connect a terminal or workstation running terminal emulation software to the 
console port.

At your terminal, press [Return] one or more times until you see the login prompt.

At the login prompt, enter your user name and password. Note that they are both 
case-sensitive. Ensure that you have entered a user name and password with 
administrator privileges.

If you are logging in for the first time, use the default user name admin to log in 
with administrator privileges. For example:

login:  admin

Administrator capabilities enable you to access all switch functions. The default 
user names have no passwords assigned.

If you have been assigned a user name and password with administrator 
privileges, enter them at the login prompt.

At the password prompt, enter the password and press [Return].

When you have successfully logged in to the switch, the command-line prompt 
displays the name of the switch in its prompt.

Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask for the default VLAN by using the 
following command:

config vlan <name> ipaddress <ipaddress> {<subnet_mask>}

For example:

Your changes take effect immediately.

Configure the default route for the switch using the following command:

config iproute add default <ipaddress> {<metric>}

For example:

Save your configuration changes so that they will be in effect after the next switch 
reboot, by typing

For more information on saving configuration changes, refer to
