Configuration
The initial configuration, which starts after the device has booted
successfully, includes static IP address and subnet mask configuration,
and setting user name and privilege level to allow remote management. If
the device is to be managed from an SNMP-based management station,
SNMP community strings must also be configured. The following
configurations are completed:
Static IP Address and Subnet Mask
User Name
Static IP Address
and Subnet Mask
IP interfaces can be configured on each port of the device. After entering
the configuration command, it is recommended to check if a port was
configured with the IP address by entering the “show ip interface”
command.
The commands to configure the device are port specific.
To manage the switch from a remote network, a default gateway must be
configured, which is an IP address to where packets are sent when the
destination is within another network. The configured gateway address
must belong to the same subnet as the IP interface of the device.
To configure the default gateway, enter the required commands at the
system prompt as shown in the following configuration example where
101.101.101.101 is the specific management station, and 100.1.1.254 is
the default gateway:
Note
100.1.1.254 is the IP address of the default gateway that is used to
reach the management network 101.101.0.0.
To check the configuration, enter the command “show ip interface” as
console#
console# configure
console(config)# interface vlan 1
console(config-if)# ip address 100.1.1.1 255.255.0.0
console(config-if)# exit
console(config)# ip default-gateway 100.1.1.254
console(config)# exit
