Manually Configuring IP Information 45
3 Enter the system-view command and press Return.
To confirm that you are in the System View, the following should be
displayed:
[4500G]
Enter interface vlan 1 and Enter.
4 Enter the IP address and subnet mask for the switch as follows:
ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm
and Enter.
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address and mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm is the
subnet mask of the switch)
5 Select the quit command and enter the default gateway for the switch:
ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the default gateway)
6 From the User View, enter the save command to save the configuration to
your switch as the configuration is not saved automatically when the switch
is powered down.
The initial set up of your switch is now complete and the switch is ready for
you to set up your chosen management method. See
“Methods of
Managing a Switch” on page 36.
If you do not intend to use the command line interface using the console
port to manage the switch, you can disconnect the serial cable and close
the terminal emulator software.
Connecting to a Front
Panel Port
To set up your switch manually you can, alternatively, make a connection to
a front panel port. To do this you will need an IP address, refer to
“Viewing
Automatically Configured IP Information” on page 49 for more
information.
The procedure described in this section assumes the unit has been powered
up in standalone mode.
Prerequisites
■ A workstation running a suitable operating system. Refer to “Choosing
a Browser” on page 53.
■ A Network Interface Card (NIC).
