Setting the Switch's IP Address using the Console Interface
Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP
network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The Switch's default
IP address is 10.90.90.90. You can change the default Switch IP address to meet the specification of
your networking address scheme.
The IP address for the Switch must be set before it can be managed with the Web-based manager.
The Switch IP address can be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in which case
the actual address assigned to the Switch must be known. The IP address may be set using the
Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port as follows:
• Starting at the command line prompt, enter the commands config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/
yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy. Where the x's represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and
the y's represent the corresponding subnet mask.
• Alternatively, you can enter config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z. Where the x's represent the
IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the z represents the corresponding number of
subnets in CIDR notation.
The IP interface named System on the Switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask,
which can then be used to connect a management station to the Switch's Telnet or Web-based
management agent.
The system message Success indicates that the command was executed successfully. The Switch
can now be configured and managed via Telnet and the CLI or via the Web-based management
agent using the above IP address to connect to the Switch.
