- Not Received—Relevant for DHCP Address. When a DCHP Client starts
a discovery process, it assigns a dummy IP address 0.0.0.0 before the
real address is obtained. This dummy address has the status of “Not
Received”.
STEP 4 Click Add.
STEP 5 Select one of the following fields:
• Interface—Select Port, LAG, or VLAN as the interface associated with this
IP configuration, and select an interface from the list.
• IP Address Type—Select one of the following options:
-
Dynamic IP Address
—Receive the IP address from a DHCP server.
-
Static IP Address
—Enter the IP address.
STEP 6 If Static IP Address was selected, enter the Mask field:
• Network Mask—IP mask for this address.
• Prefix Length—Length of the IPv4 prefix.
STEP 7 Click Apply. The IPv4 address settings are written to the Running Configuration
file.
CAUTION When the system is in one of the stacking modes with a Backup Master present,
Cisco recommends configuring the IP address as a static address to prevent
disconnecting from the network during a Stacking Master switchover. This is
because when the backup master takes control of the stack, when using DHCP, it
might receive a different IP address than the one that was received by the stack’s
original master-enabled unit.
