To manually configure the IP settings, perform the following steps:

1 Connect a terminal or workstation running terminal emulation software to the

console port.

2 At your terminal, press [Return] one or more times until you see the login prompt.

3 At the login prompt, enter your user name and password. Note that they are both

case-sensitive. Ensure that you have entered a user name and password with

administrator privileges.

— If you are logging in for the first time, use the default user name admin to log in

with administrator privileges. For example:

Administrator capabilities enable you to access all switch functions. The default

user names have no passwords assigned.

— If you have been assigned a user name and password with administrator

privileges, enter them at the login prompt.

4 At the password prompt, enter the password and press [Return].

When you have successfully logged in to the switch, the command-line prompt

displays the name of the switch in its prompt.

5 Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask for the default VLAN by using the

following command:

config vlan <name> ipaddress <ipaddress> {<subnet_mask>}

For example:

config vlan default ipaddress 123.45.67.8 255.255.255.0

Your changes take effect immediately.

6 Configure the default route for the switch using the following command:

config iproute add default <ipaddress> {<metric>}

For example:

config iproute add default 123.45.67.1

7 Save your configuration changes so that they will be in effect after the next switch

reboot, by typing

save

For more information on saving configuration changes, refer to Chapter 14.
