IP Commands

An IP address may be used for management access to the switch over your

network. By default, the switch’s IP address is set via DHCP. If you wish to

manually configure an IP address, you need to change the switch’s default

settings (IP address 0.0.0.0 and netmask 255.0.0.0) so that they are

compatible with your network. You may also need to a establish a default

gateway between the switch and management stations that exist on another

network segment.

Note: The access mode shown in the table is indicated by these

abbreviations: NE (Normal Exec), PE (Privileged Exec),

GC (Global Configuration), IC (Interface Configuration),

LC (Line Configuration), VC (VLAN Database Configuration.)
