• The default gateway IP address.
• The SNMP community.
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.
Note
The commands to configure the device are port specific.
To manage the switch from a remote network, a static route must be configured, which is an IP address to where
packets are sent when no entries are found in the device tables. The configured IP address must belong to the
same subnet as one of the device IP interfaces.
To configure a static route, enter the command at the system prompt, as shown in the following configuration
example, where 100.1.1.1 is the specific management station, the IP address is defined on VLAN 1, and the
default gateway is defined as 100.1.1.10. Note that by default, all ports are members of VLAN 1, which is the
default VLAN.
console# configure
console(config)# interface vlan 1
console(config-if)# ip address 100.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
console(config-if)# exit
console# default-gateway 100.1.1.10 255.255.255.0
Confirm that the IP address has been correctly configured as follows:
console# show ip interface
Proxy ARP is disabled

Assigning Static IP Addresses on a Default VLAN
This example uses the following assumptions:
• The IP address to be assigned to the VLAN interface is 100.1.1.110
• The IP subnet mask for the network is 255.255.255.0
• The IP address of the default route is 192.168.1.1
• The read/write SNMP community string is "private"
