• ip-address - IP address
• netmask - Network mask for the associated IP subnet. This mask
identifies the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets.

Command Usage
• DHCP is enabled by default. To manually configure a new IP address,
you must first disable the DHCP client with the no ip dhcp command.
• You must assign an IP address to this device to gain management
access over the network or to connect to existing IP subnets. You can
manually configure a specific IP address using this command, or
direct the device to obtain an address from a DHCP server using the
ip dhcp command. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to
255, separated by periods. Anything other than this format will not be
accepted by the configuration program.
