Chapter 3 Configuring the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway
Default IP Address and Default Gateway Configuration
Note
To boot a system image stored on the supervisor engine Flash PC card, at least one VLAN interface
must be configured and active.
By following this recommendation, there is really no need to store new system images on the bootflash.
If desired, you can update the system image on the bootflash from an image on the supervisor engine
Flash PC card by entering these commands:
delete bootflash:
old_system_image
squeeze bootflash:
copy sup-slot0:
new_system_image
bootflash:
Default IP Address and Default Gateway Configuration
Table 3-2
shows the default IP address and default gateway configuration.
Assigning the In-Band (sc0) Interface IP Address
Before you can Telnet to the switch or use SNMP to manage the switch, you must assign an IP address
to the in-band (sc0) logical interface.
You can specify the subnet mask (
netmask
) using the number of subnet bits or using the subnet mask in
dotted decimal format.
To set the IP address and VLAN membership of the in-band (sc0) management interface, perform this
task in privileged mode:

Task
Command
Step 1
Assign an IP address, subnet mask (or number of
subnet bits), and (optional) broadcast address to
the in-band (sc0) interface.
set interface sc0
[
ip_addr
[
/
netmask
] [
broadcast
]]
Step 2
Assign the in-band interface to the proper VLAN
(make sure the VLAN is associated with the
network to which the IP address belongs).
set interface sc0
[
vlan
]
Step 3
If necessary, bring the interface up.
set interface sc0 up
Step 4
Verify the interface configuration.
