IPv4 Interface

• If bootp or dhcp options are selected, the system will immediately start broadcasting service
requests for all VLANs configured to obtain address assignments through BOOTP or DHCP. IP is
enabled but will not function until a BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. Requests are
broadcast periodically by the router in an effort to learn its IP address. (BOOTP and DHCP
values can include the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask). If the DHCP/BOOTP
server is slow to respond, you may need to use the
ip dhcp restart client command to re-start
broadcasting service requests, or reboot the switch.
NOTE
Management access and routing functions are supported for IPv4 interfaces, but only management
access is supported for IPv6 interfaces at this time.
Example
In the following example, the device is assigned an address in VLAN 1.
Console(config)#interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0
Console(config-if)#
Related Commands
ip dhcp restart client (582)
ip default-gateway (591)
ipv6 address (601)
ip default-gateway
This command specifies the default gateway for destinations not found in the local routing tables.
Use the no form to remove a default gateway.
Syntax
ip default-gateway gateway
no ip default-gateway
gateway - IP address of the default gateway
Default Setting
No default gateway is established.
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
• Static routes can also be defined using the ip route command to ensure that traffic to the
designated address or subnet passes through a preferred gateway.
• A default gateway can only be successfully set when a network interface that directly connects
to the gateway has been configured on the switch.
• A gateway must be defined if the management station is located in a different IP segment.
• Use the show ip route command to display the default gateway.
