Before you can assign an IP address to the switch, you must obtain the
following information from your network administrator:
• IP address for the switch
• Default gateway for the network
• Network mask for this network
To assign an IP address to the switch, complete the following steps:
1. From the Privileged Exec level 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>. In the screen
below, the IP addresses given are merely examples.
