Chapter 2: Installing the RackSwitch G8264
BPP-00039-00 rev 2, January 2011
1.
Log on to the switch.
2.
Enter IP interface mode.
3.
Configure an IP interface, subnet mask, and VLAN assignment. Enable the interface.
4.
Configure the default gateway. Enable the gateway.
Once you configure the IP address for your switch and you have an existing network connection,
you can use the Telnet program from an external management station to access and control the
switch. The management station and your switch must be on the same IP subnet.
The G8264 supports a command-line interface (CLI) that you can use to configure and control the
switch over the network using the Telnet program. You can use the CLI to perform many basic
network management functions. In addition, you can configure the switch for management using an
SNMP-based network management system or a Web browser.
For more information about using the CLI, refer to the RackSwitch G8264
