Syntax

ipaddress

Parameters

ipaddress

Specifies an IPv4 default gateway address.

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to assign the switch an IPv4 default gateway address.
A default gateway is an address of an interface on a router or other Layer
3 device. The switch uses the address as the first hop to reaching remote
subnets or networks when communicating with management network
devices, such as Telnet clients and syslog servers, that are not members
of the same subnet as its IPv4 address.

You must assign the switch a default gateway address if both of the
following are true:

You assigned the switch an IPv4 management address.

The management network devices are not members of the same
subnet as the management IP address.

Review the following guidelines before assigning a default gateway
address to the switch:

The switch can have just one IPv4 default gateway address.

The switch must already have an IPv4 management address.

The management address and the default gateway address must
be members of the same subnet.
