vlan 1
to access the interface-configuration mode, and then press <Enter>.

address and
netmask is the network mask for the network.
3 Ty p e exit to return to the global configuration mode prompt and press <Enter>.
4 To set the IP address of the default gateway for the network to which the switch
belongs, type
ip default-gateway gateway, where gateway is the IP address of the
default gateway, and then press <Enter>.
5 To save your configuration changes, type copy running-config startup-config
and press <Enter>.
NOTICE: Only one VLAN can be assigned an IP address. If you assign an address to any other
VLAN, the new address overrides the original IP address.
