The following example shows how to set a static IP address using the CLI.
Assigning IP Addresses — PowerConnect 33xx Switches
IP addresses must be assigned to a port or VLAN to gain management access over the
network. IP address are:
• Statically configured
• Dynamically configured through a BOOTP or DHCP server
Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything
outside this format is not accepted by the CLI program.
NOTICE: By default, the IP address is assigned to VLAN 1 through DHCP.
If the bootp or dhcp options are selected, the IP is enabled but does not function until a
BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. Requests are broadcast periodically by the
PowerConnect device in an effort to learn its IP address. (BOOTP and DHCP values can
include the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask).
To display assigned IP settings using the CLI:
1 Switch the device on.
The prompt is displayed as console>. This is privilege level 1.
2 Ty p e enable and press <Enter>.
A password prompt may be displayed.
NOTE: A password may not be defined for the Console Access context. For more information
about defining passwords, see "Password Protection and Password Recovery" on page 15.

Ty p e configure and press <Enter>.
The prompt is displayed as console(config)#.
Console(config)# interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0
Console(config-if)# exit
Console(config)# ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254
Console(config)#
