Configuring IP Addressing
IP Preserve: Retaining VLAN-1 IP Addressing Across Configuration File Downloads
Figure 7-4. Example of Implementing IP Preserve in a Switch 4108GL Configuration File
For example, consider Figure 7-5:
Figure 7-5. Example of IP Preserve Operation with Multiple Series 4100GL Switches
If you apply the following configuration file to figure 7-5, switches 1 - 3 will
retain their manually assigned IP addressing and switch 4 will be configured
to acquire its IP addressing from a DHCP server.
Entering "ip preserve" in the last line of a configuration
file implements IP Preserve when the file is
downloaded to the switch and the switch reboots.
