9.IP Commands
An IP address may be used for management access to the switch over your net-
work. By default, the switch uses DHCP to assign IP settings to VLAN 1 on the
switch. If you wish to manually configure IP settings, you need to change the
switch’s user-specified defaults (IP address 0.0.0.0 and netmask 255.0.0.0) to
values that are compatible with your network. You may also need to a establish a
default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist on
another network segment.
