ip address

This command sets the IP address for the currently selected VLAN interface. Use
the no form to restore the default IP address.

Syntax

ip address {ip-address netmask | bootp | dhcp}
no ip address

• ip-address - IP address
• netmask - Network mask for the associated IP subnet. This mask identifies

the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets.

• bootp - Obtains IP address from BOOTP.
• dhcp - Obtains IP address from DHCP.

Default Setting

DHCP

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (VLAN)

Command Usage

• You must assign an IP address to this device to gain management access

over the network. 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 numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything
outside this format will not be accepted by the configuration program.

• If you select the bootp or dhcp option, IP is enabled but will not function until

a BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. Requests will be broadcast
periodically by this device in an effort to learn its IP address. (BOOTP and
DHCP values can include the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask).

• You can start broadcasting BOOTP or DHCP requests by entering an ip dhcp

restart command, or by rebooting the.

Caution:

Only one VLAN interface can be assigned an IP address (the default is

VLAN 1). This defines the management VLAN, the only VLAN through which
you can gain management access to the switch. If you assign an IP address to
any other VLAN, the new IP address overrides the original IP address and this
becomes the new management VLAN.
