Retrieving an IP Address
By default, the switch receives its IP address dynamically via a DHCP server.
You can change the OOB port’s IP, but you cannot delete it. and you can add
another IP address on the In-Band interface (port, port-channel or VLAN).
The In-Band IP address can also be received from the DHCP server.
Receiving an In-Band IP Address from a DHCP Server
When using the DHCP protocol to retrieve an IP address, the device acts as a
DHCP client. When the device is reset, the DHCP command is saved in the
configuration file, but the IP address is not.
To retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server, perform the following steps:
1
Select and connect any port to a DHCP server or to a subnet that has a
DHCP server on it.
2 Type the following commands to use the selected port for receiving the IP
address:
a Assigning dynamic IP Addresses on a port:
b Assigning a dynamic IP Addresses on a VLAN:
The interface receives the IP address automatically.
