If the interface is running DHCP, the DHCP server assigns an IP address and
you cannot access the static IP address you configured on the interface.
Even if you are running DHCP on an interface, you may want to manually
configure the interface so that there is a valid static IP address defined for the
interface when DHCP is not running:
• To manually configure a remote interface, see “Configuring the Remote
Management Interface” on page 3-4.
• To manually configure a local interface, see “Configuring the Local
Management Interface” on page 3-5.
Note: Ensure DHCP is disabled while you are configuring the remote or
local interface.
Note: The local interface is only available on the 3920, 3930, 3940, 3960
and 5150. The other devices in the product family do not have a local
interface and have a remote interface only.
For a procedure see “Configuring an Interface using DHCP” on page 3-14.
Setting the System Host Name
The system host name is a string used to uniquely identify the system. The
system host name replaces the default user prompt with a user-defined name.
The host name can be set manually, through DHCP, or through SNMP.
The following rules apply when setting a host name:
• String between 2 and 63 characters.
• The host name must not be an IP address.
• No spaces are allowed.
• At least one character must be alpha (a-z) or a dash (-).
• Host name is case sensitive.
• The following special characters are not allowed: “ % * ? !
For a procedure see “Setting the System Host Name” on page 3-15.
Logging Out of the System
When you have completed your initial system configuration, you can log out
of the system and remove the connection to the serial console port.
Note: Before you disconnect from the system, ensure that you have
saved the configuration using the configuration save command.
For a procedure see “Logging out of the System” on page 3-16.
