Setting the Switch’s IP Address using the Console Interface
Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP
network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The Switch’s default IP
address is 0.0.0.0. The default Switch IP address can be changed to meet the specification of your
networking address scheme.
The IP address for the Switch must be set before the Web-based manager can manage the switch. The
Switch IP address can be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in which case the actual
address assigned to the Switch must be known. The IP address may be set using the Command Line
Interface (CLI) over the console serial port as follows:
Starting at the command line prompt, enter the commands config ipif System ipaddress
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy. Where the x letters represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP
interface named System and the y letters represent the corresponding subnet mask.
Alternatively, the user can enter config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z. Where the x letters
represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the z represents the
corresponding number of subnets in CIDR notation.
The IP interface named System on the Switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask, which
can then be used to connect a management station to the Switch’s Telnet or Web-based management
agent.
Successful entry of the command will produce a “Success” message, indicating that the command
execution was correct. You may now utilize this address to configure or manage the Switch through
Telnet, the Command Line Interface (CLI) or the Web-based management (GUI).
