Chapter 2 Assigning the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway
Assigning Switch Information
Manually Assigning IP Information
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Review the “Assigning Switch Information” section on page 2-11.
DETAILED STEPS
To remove the switch IP address, use the no ip address interface configuration command. If you are
removing the address through a Telnet session, your connection to the switch will be lost. To remove the
default gateway address, use the no ip default-gateway global configuration command.
For information on setting the switch system name, protecting access to privileged EXEC commands,
and setting time and calendar services, see Chapter 4, “Administering the Switch.”
EXAMPLE
Switch(config)# interface vlan 100
Switch(config-if)# ip address 172.20.137.50 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-if)# ip default-gateway 172.20.137.1
Switch(config-if)# exit

Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface vlan vlan-id Enter interface configuration mode, and enter the VLAN to
which the IP information is assigned. The range is 1 to 4094; do
not enter leading zeros.
Step 3
ip address ip-address subnet-mask Enter the IP address and subnet mask.
Step 4
exit Return to global configuration mode.
Step 5
ip default-gateway ip-address Enter the IP address of the next-hop router interface that is
directly connected to the switch where a default gateway is being
configured. The default gateway receives IP packets with
unresolved destination IP addresses from the switch.
Once the default gateway is configured, the switch has
connectivity to the remote networks with which a host needs to
communicate.
Note When your switch is configured to route with IP, it does
not need to have a default gateway set.
Step 6
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
show interfaces vlan vlan-id Verify the configured IP address.
Step 8
show ip redirects Verify the configured default gateway.
Step 9
copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
