ezconfig. Use the ezconfig application through the network interface, service port, or 
console port (see

You can assign IP information initially through a BootP or DHCP server over the network 
interface or over the service port. The network must provide either a BootP or DHCP server. 
By default, the DHCP protocol mode is enabled on the switch.

Configure the BootP or DHCP server with IP address and MAC information for the switch. 
Obtain this information through the serial port connection using the show network or show 
serviceport command. Set up the server with the following values:

IP address. The unique IP address for the switch. Each IP parameter is made up of four 
decimal numbers, ranging from 0 to 255. If no DHCP server is available to assign an IP 
address to the switch through DHCP, the default IP address for the service port is 0.0.0.0 
and the default IP address for the network interface is 169.254.100.100.

Subnet mask. The subnet mask for the LAN, for example, 255.255.255.0.

Gateway IP address. The IP address of the default router, if the switch is a node outside 
the IP range of the LAN.

MAC address. The MAC address of the switch.

When you connect the switch to the network for the first time after configuring the BootP or 
DHCP server, the switch is configured with the IP address, subnet, and other information you 
supplied. The switch is ready for access over the network interface or service port.

If your network does not use a BootP or DHCP server, access the switch through the console 
port to configure the network information (see 

If your network does not use a BootP or DHCP server (see 

the switch through the console port.
