When configuring the IPv6 address and gateway, one double colon may be
used to indicate the appropriate number of zeros required to fill the
undefined fields. To generate an IPv6 global unicast address for the switch,
type the following command, and press <Enter>.
“ip ipv6 setup ipv6-address ipv6-prefix ipv6-router vid”
where “ipv6-address” is the full IPv6 address of the switch including the
network prefix and host address bits. “ipv6-prefix” indicates the length of
the network prefix, “ipv6-router” is the IPv6 address of the default next
hop router to use when the management station is located on a different
network segment, and “vid” is the VLAN identifier for the interface to which
this address will be assigned.
>ip ipv6 setup ?

DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION
OBTAINING AN IPV4 ADDRESS
If you enable the “IP DHCP” option, IP will be enabled but will not function
until a DHCP reply has been received. Requests will be sent periodically in
an effort to obtain IP configuration information. DHCP values can include
the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
If the IP DHCP option is enabled, the switch will start broadcasting service
requests as soon as it is powered on.
To automatically configure the switch by communicating with DHCP
address allocation servers on the network, type the following command,
and press <Enter>. Wait a few minutes, and then check the IP
configuration settings using the “ip dhcp” command.
“ip dhcp enable”
