You can manually assign an IP address to the switch. You may also need to
specify a default gateway that resides between this device and
management stations that exist on another network segment. Valid IPv4
addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.
Anything outside this format will not be accepted by the CLI program.

Before you can assign an IP address to the switch, you must obtain the
following information from your network administrator:
u
IP address for the switch
u
Network mask for this network
u
Default gateway for the network
To assign an IPv4 address to the switch, complete the following steps
1. From the Global Configuration mode prompt, type “interface vlan 1” to
access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.
2. Type “ip address ip-address netmask ,” where “ip-address” is the switch
IP address and “netmask” is the network mask for the network. Press
<Enter>.
3. Type “exit” to return to the global configuration mode prompt. Press
<Enter>.
4. To set the IP address of the default gateway for the network to which
the switch belongs, type “ip default-gateway
gateway ,” where
“gateway” is the IP address of the default gateway. Press <Enter>.
Console(config)#interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0
Console(config-if)#exit
Console(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254

This section describes how to configure a “link local” address for
connectivity within the local subnet only, and also how to configure a
“global unicast” address, including a network prefix for use on a multi-
segment network and the host portion of the address.
An IPv6 prefix or address must be formatted according to RFC 2373 “IPv6
Addressing Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal
values. One double colon may be used to indicate the appropriate number
of zeros required to fill the undefined fields. For detailed information on the
