ASSIGNING AN IPV4 ADDRESS
Before you can assign an IP address to the switch, you must obtain the
following information from your network administrator:
◆ IP address for the switch
◆ Network mask for this network
◆ Default gateway for the network
To assign an IPv4 address to the switch, type
“ip setup ip-address ip-mask ip-router vid”
where “ip-address” is the switch’s IP address, “ip-mask” is the mask for the
network portion of the address, “ip-router” is the IP address of the default
gateway, and “vid” is the VLAN identifier for the interface to which this
address will be assigned. Press <Enter>.
>ip setup ?
Description:
------------
Set or show the IP setup.
Syntax:
-------

<ip_mask> : IP subnet mask (a.b.c.d), default: Show IP mask

ASSIGNING AN IPV6 ADDRESS
This section describes how to configure a “global unicast” address by
specifying the full IPv6 address (including network and host portions) and
the length of the network prefix.
An IPv6 address must be formatted according to RFC 2373 “IPv6
Addressing Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal
values. One double colon may be used to indicate the appropriate number
of zeros required to fill the undefined fields.
Before you can assign an IPv6 address to the switch that will be used to
connect to a multi-segment network, you must obtain the following
information from your network administrator:
◆ IP address for the switch
◆ Length of the network prefix
◆ Default gateway for the network
