4.2 Configuring the WS5100 IP Address
Before you can set the switch’s preliminary configuration using the Web UI, the IP address
assigned to the switch must be known. By default the switch uses virtual LAN 1, which is
mapped to Ethernet port 2 for the switch default wired LAN management port.
4.2.1 DHCP Configuration
The default setting is to use a DHCP served IP address to access the WS5100 through
Ethernet Port 2. No Changes to the configuration are required for this setting.
Use the “show ip interface brief” command to display the IP address assigned to the
switch by the DHCP server.
4.2.2 Setting Static IP Information
Setting a fixed IP address for the VLAN 1 interface on the switch will automatically disable
DHCP.
To set the IP address for the switch:
ws5100>
enable
ws5100#
configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z
ws5100(config)#
interface vlan 1
ws5100(config-if)#ip address w.x.y.z/24
ws5100(config-if)#exit
ws5100(config)#
ip default-gateway w.x.y.n
ws5100(config)#
ip name-server x.x.x.x
To verify the settings and connection:
ws5100(config)#
exit
ws5100#
ping w.x.y.z
To save the settings to be available on the next reboot of the switch:
ws5100#
write memory
[OK]
At this point, the initial configuration of the WS5100 is complete. Continue the
configuration through the switch’s Web UI, as described in the next section.
