Configuring the IP address
NOTE
Passwords can be 8 to 40 characters long. They must begin with an alphabetic character. They can
include numeric characters, the period (.), and the underscore (_) only. Passwords are case-
sensitive, and they are not displayed when you enter them on the command line.
Configuring the IP address
You can configure the device with a static IP address, or you can use a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The device
supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Using DHCP to set the IP address
When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address from
the DHCP server. The DHCP client can only connect to a DHCP server that is on the same subnet as
the switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the switch, use a static IP address.
Setting a static IP address
To set a static IP address for the device, complete the following steps.
1. Log in to the device as admin.
2. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address.
• If you are going to use an IPv4 address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation as
prompted.
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
• If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in colon-separated notation
as prompted.
device:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
IP address is being changed...Done.
3. Complete the rest of the network information as prompted. (IPv4 format shown):
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
Gateway IP Address: [192.168.74.1]
4. Enter off to disable DHCP when prompted.
DHCP [OFF]: off
Setting the date and time
The date and time settings are used for logging events, error detection, and troubleshooting. However,
device operation does not depend on the date and time; a device with incorrect date or time values still
functions properly.
