Figure 1-4: Configuring the switch from a PC in another subnet
Important You can browse to the switch through any VLAN, as long as you
give that VLAN an IP address (below). These instructions assume you use
vlan1. The switch ports all belong to vlan1 by default.
3. Access the switch’s command line interface.
Access the CLI from the PC, as described in your Installation and Safety
Guide or Quick Install Guide.
4. Enable IP.
enable ip
5. Assign the vlan1 interface an IP address.
add ip interface=vlan1 ip=ipaddress mask=mask
If you use DHCP to assign IP addresses to devices on your LAN, and you
want to manage the switch within this DHCP regime, we recommend that
you set your DHCP server to always assign the same IP address to the
switch. This lets you access the GUI by browsing to that IP address, and
also lets you use the switch as a gateway device for your LAN. If you need
the switch's MAC address for this, you can display it with the command
show switch. To set the interface to obtain its IP address by DHCP, use the
commands:
add ip interface=vlan1 ipaddress=dhcp
enable ip remoteassign
6. If the PC you want to browse from is in a different subnet from the switch, give
the switch a route to the PC.
add ip route=pc-subnet interface=vlan1
nexthop=gateway-ipaddress
where:
• PC-subnet is the IP subnet address of the PC. For example, if the PC has
an IP address of 192.168.6.1 and a mask of 255.255.255.0, its subnet
address is 192.168.6.0.
• gateway-ipaddress is the IP address of the gateway device that connects
the PC’s subnet with the switch’s subnet (Figure 1-4 on page 1-8).
