IP Interface Commands
4-337
4
Command Usage
• You must assign an IP address to this device to gain management access
over the network. You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct
the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server. Valid IP
addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything
outside this format will not be accepted by the configuration program.
• If you select the
bootp
or
dhcp
option, IP is enabled but will not function until
a BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. Requests will be broadcast
periodically by this device in an effort to learn its IP address. (BOOTP and
DHCP values can include the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask).
• If the DHCP/BOOTP server is slow to respond, you may need to use the
ip
dhcp restart
command to re-start broadcasting service requests.
Note:
Only one VLAN interface can be assigned an IP address (the default is
VLAN 1). This defines the management VLAN, the only VLAN through
which you can gain management access to the switch. If you assign an IP
address to any other VLAN, the new IP address overrides the original IP
address and this becomes the new management VLAN.
Example
In the following example, the device is assigned an address in VLAN 1.

Command Usage

directly connects to the gateway has been configured on the switch.
