The next series of commands assigns the management address
143.24.55.67 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 to the new VLAN.

This example activates the DHCP client so that the management IPv4
address is assigned to the Default_VLAN:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface vlan1
awplus(config-if)# ip address dhcp

Adding an IPv4

Default Gateway

Address

The switch must be assigned a default gateway if the management
devices (for example, syslog servers, TFTP servers, and Telnet clients)
are not members of the same subnet as the management IPv4 address. A
default gateway is an IP address of an interface on a router or other Layer
3 device. It represents the first hop to the networks in which the
management devices reside. The switch can have only one IPv4 default
gateway and the address must be a member of the same subnet as the
management IPv4 address.

The command for assigning the default gateway is the IP ROUTE
command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the format:

ip route 0.0.0.0/0

ipaddress

The IPADDDRESS parameter is the default gateway to be assigned the
switch.

awplus# configure terminal

Enter the Global Configuration
mode.

awplus(config)# interface vlan17

Use the INTERFACE VLAN
command to move to the VLAN
Interface.

awplus(config-if)# ip address 143.24.55.67/24

Use the IP ADDRESS command
to assign the management
address 143.24.55.67 and subnet
mask 255.255.255.0 to the VLAN.

awplus(config-if)# end

Return to the Privileged Exec
mode.

awplus# show ip interface

Use the SHOW IP INTERFACE
command to display the new
management IPv4 address.
