Syntax: show ip

This command displays the IP addressing for each VLAN
configured in the switch. If only the DEFAULT_VLAN exists,
then its IP configuration applies to all ports in the switch.
Where multiple VLANs are configured, the IP addressing is
listed per VLAN. The display includes switch-wide packet
time-to-live, and (if configured) the switch’s default gateway
and Timep configuration.
