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, users 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, and then be used to connect a
management station to the Switch's Telnet or Web-based management agent.
DES-3828:admin#config ipif System ipaddress 10.53.13.83/255.0.0.0
Command: config ipif System ipaddress 10.53.13.83/8
Note: All configurations on this interface will return to default
setting.
Success.

Figure 4- 4. Assigning the Switch an IP Address
In the above example, the Switch was assigned an IP address of 10.53.13.83 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. The user may also
use the CIDR form to set the address (10.53.13.83/8). 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.
