Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 4)
This section describes how to configure an initial IPv4 interface for
management access over the network. This switch supports both IPv4 and
IPv6, and can be managed through either of these address types. For
information on configuring the switch with an IPv6 address, see “Setting
the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 6)” on page 4-13.
The IPv4 address for this stack is obtained via DHCP by default. To
manually configure an address, you need to change the stack’s default
settings to values that are compatible with your network. You may also
need to a establish a default gateway between the stack and management
stations that exist on another network segment (if routing is not enabled
on this stack).
You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to
obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server. Valid IP addresses
consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything
outside this format will not be accepted by the CLI program.
Command Usage
• This section describes how to configure a single local interface for initial
access to the stack. To configure multiple IP interfaces on this stack, you
must set up an IP interface for each VLAN (page 17-5).
• To enable routing between the different interfaces on this stack, you
must enable IP routing (page 17-5).
• To enable routing between the interfaces defined on this stack and
external network interfaces, you must configure static routes (page
17-26) or use dynamic routing; i.e., RIP (page 17-30).
• The precedence for configuring IP interfaces is the IP / General /
Routing Interface menu (page 17-7), static routes (page 17-26), and then
dynamic routing.
