Chapter 5: Powering On the Switch

Adding a Management IP Address
You must assign the switch a management IP address to access the web
user interface and to remotely manage the switch during a remote Telnet
connection. Here are the requirements:
 The switch can have one management IPv4 address and one
management IPv6 address.
 A management IP address must be assigned to a VLAN on the
switch. It can be any VLAN, including the Default VLAN.
 The host devices (for example, Syslog servers, TFTP servers)
must be members of the same subnet as a management IP
address or have access to it through routers or other Layer 3
devices.
 The switch must also have a default gateway if the host devices
are not members of the same subnet as the management IP
address. The default gateway specifies the IP address of a router
interface that represents the first hop to the subnets or networks of
the host devices.
 A default gateway address, if needed, must be a member of the
same subnet as a management IP address.
 The switch can have one IPv4 default gateway and one IPv6
gateway.
The IP ADDRESS command in the VLAN Interface mode command adds
a management IPv4 address to the switch. Table 9 on page 70 shows an
example in which the command assigns a management IPv4 address of
149.82.112.72 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 to the Default VLAN,
which has the VID 1. The switch is also assigned the default gateway,
149.82.112.18:
