FIGURE 4 - Setting IP address on the switch
This document assumes the reader is familiar with IP addressing schemes as well as how
net mask is used and how default gateways and routers are used in a network.
Reboot gives an opportunity to save the configuration prior to shutdown. For a reboot –
simply type in the command “reboot”. (Note – even though the passwords are not
changed, they can be changed later.)

FIGURE 5 - Rebooting the switch
MNS-6K forces an answer the prompts with a “Y” or a “N” to prevent accidental
keystroke errors and loss of work.
The parameters can be viewed at any time by using the ‘show’ command. The show
command will be covered in more detail later in various sections throughout the
document.
