NOTE: If the switch has no IP Address, then the provided IP Configuration changes the
running parameters as well as the NVRAM-based database. If the switch was already
configured, the command only changes the NVRAM database. Therefore, to use the new
parameters you should reset the Switch, using the warm-reset command.
You can also use the
set-ip
command to accomplish this. When you do, the mask and broadcast
are automatically set to defaults according to the IP address class.
Example
SYS_console> set-ip 192.1.1.64
Verifying the Installation
After the installation is complete and the IP Address configured, use the Ping utility to test
the connectivity.
The ping command sends an echo request to the host specified in the command line. For
example, to test connectivity from the Switch to a workstation with an IP Address of 192.1.1.1,
use the following command:
SYS_console> ping 192.1.1.1 100
Accessing the Command Line Interface Remotely
When the switch has an IP address, the administrative interface can be accessed remotely
through Telnet. All commands work exactly as if the serial interface were being used. Please
note that only one console session may be active at any given time. This means that after the
first Telnet session is established, all other Telnet connections are refused until the current
session is closed.
