Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity
Configuring IP addresses
•
To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter,
"10.157.22.99 255.255.255.0" for an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask.
•
To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash ( /) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the
IP address. For example, enter,
"10.157.22.99/24" for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant ("mask") bits.
By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (example: 255.255.255.0). You can change the display to the
prefix format. Refer to the
TurboIron Configuration Guide
.
Devices running Layer 2 software
Follow the steps to configure an IP address on a device running Layer 2 software.

.
TurboIron>
enable
2.
Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, TurboIron Switch#), then press Enter. This
command erases the factory test configuration if still present.
TurboIron#
erase startup-config
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you
have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the
configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration
to the startup-config file.
3.
Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the following command.
TurboIron#
configure terminal Privileged EXEC Level
TurboIron(config)#
Global CONFIG Level
4.
Configure the IP address and mask for the switch.
TurboIron(config)#
ip address
10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
5.
Set a default gateway address for the switch.
TurboIron(config)#
ip default-gateway
10.22.3.1
NOTE
You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.
